About Easton
Easton had 1,972 residents at the 2020 census and sits at about 276 feet above sea level. A census-designated place (not a city).
The 2020 census counted 653 housing units in Easton, and about 72.0% of occupied homes are owner-occupied. That works out to about 217 housing units per square mile.
Easton was formerly known as Covel, and later Covell.
Easton has about 217 housing units per square mile, a much lower density than Fresno itself, so lots and landscapes tend to be larger.
At about 276 feet, Easton shares the Fresno area’s semi-arid San Joaquin Valley climate, with long, hot, dry summers, mild winters and average rainfall of around 11 inches a year.
Setting your sprinkler timer
Set the days first, then the start time. Early morning is generally the best time, because less water evaporates. Check every program on the controller, because leftover days on a second program are the most common way a home waters more than it should.
If a zone puddles or runs onto the street, shorten the run time and add a second start, or have the heads checked. Water on pavement is waste in every city we serve.
Not sure your timer is set right? A free 21-point inspection checks the controller and every zone, and we can program it for Easton.
