Outdoor Watering Information


On June 1, 2010, the "Stewardship Law" was signed by Governor Sonny Perdue. This law changes the terms for outdoor water use on landscaping. The new schedule is:


Landscape watering may be done any day of the week after 4 P.M. and before 10 A.M.

All other outdoor water use (i.e. car washing, etc...) is subject to the following schedule:


Even Addresses - Monday, Wednesday and Saturday - no hourly restrictions.


Odd Addresses - Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday - no hourly restrictions.
