If your lavender is still green-blue, it is not dormant and needs water. In the cooler months, you may be able to water once weekly when there is no rain. If there is no growth and the leaves turn a dull whitish-grey color, the plant is dormant. It does not need additional water at this point. Pruning when the plant is not dormant triggers new growth which will die out if not watered. Here is some info specific to your area:
