Manteca currently allows the watering of lawns three times a week.

And while the city shut off almost all of their irrigation at the start of December, they didn’t reduce watering days for everyone else assuming people would use common sense with the return of rain, the dormant cycle for everything from trees and shrubs to grass, and the fact morning dew is prevalent through the end of February.

Most people in Manteca displayed common sense but a good number didn’t even going as far as watering lawns in the middle of January storms.
