Year-round irrigation restrictions reduce the peak demand on our water system, said the release. The implementation of irrigation restrictions during the fall and winter conserve water and minimize hazardous road conditions during freezing weather.

According to the release, on your scheduled watering days, irrigation will only be allowed when temperatures are above 35 degrees Fahrenheit.

Below is a list of other year-round restrictions.

  • Irrigate landscape only during your two assigned days per week
  • Irrigation schedules are based on the last digit of the house address:
    • Addresses ending in 0, 3, 4, or 9 – Monday and Thursday
