What to know in Queen Creek
Water the yard first
The town encourages using pool water on your lawn and landscape. Pool water carries more salt and chlorine than tap water, so let the chlorine drop first and keep it off sensitive plants.
Septic homes
If you're on septic, don't use the cleanout. The town warns pool water can damage a septic system, so tell your contractor up front.
Big yard, slow drain
Draining onto a large lot works only if the water soaks in without reaching the street or a neighbor. Spreading it over a day or two helps.
