Lawn Irrigation/Sprinkler Restrictions
The recent hot and dry weather has resulted in an increase in lawn sprinkling, leading to record water demand on the supply system.
Effective immediately, NOWS officials are asking for you to voluntarily adjust your lawn sprinkling to an even-odd day schedule. This notice applies to the entire NOWS service area. This does not apply if you use a well for irrigation, or for newly-seeded lawns.
See the NOWS news release for more information.
