Details

Two-day-a-week residential and business landscape restrictions are in place.  Landscape irrigation restrictions apply to all properties without regard to size or source of water (i.e. utility or private well).

Odd number addresses may water on Wednesdays and Saturdays and even number addresses or houses with no street address may water on Thursdays and Sundays.
Watering may be done between midnight and 10 am or between 4 pm and 11:59 pm.      
For the most efficient use of water, residents should avoid irrigating during both time periods on the same day.  
Hand watering of stressed plants is permitted for 10 minutes per day on any day using a single hose with an attached automatic shut-off nozzle.
No watering is permitted on any day between the hours of 10 am and 4 pm.

Code Enforcement Notices to Appear will be issued for violations of water restrictions. The fines are $125 for the 1st offense, $250 for the 2nd offense, $400 for the 3rd offense, and $500 for the 4th offense.  Any subsequent water violations require a mandatory appearance before the Code Enforcement Board.

Please note that there is an increased risk of fire this time of year.  Be careful with cigarettes, cooking on a grill outside, and starting or driving your car on tall grass.
