The twice a week conservation water schedule for residents and businesses is still in effect. The conservation water schedule is year-round.
On the scheduled watering days, from October 1st through March 31st, citizens may water any time of day when temperatures are above 35° degrees Fahrenheit.
For businesses, industries, apartment complexes and parks, watering days are Monday and Thursday. For residents whose address ends in an even number (0, 2, 4, 6 or 8), Tuesday and Saturday are the designated watering days. Residents with addresses ending in an odd number (1, 3, 5, 7 or 9) may water on Wednesday and Sunday.
Also, in preparation for freezing temperatures, all sprinkler systems set to timers need to be readjusted – sprinkler systems ran during freezing weather can harm the system and make surfaces slick and dangerous.
Besides the twice a week conservation water schedule, the City will also implement other best management practices including a water conservation retrofit program, a leak detection and repair program, water loss control measures, requirements for water conservation landscape for new businesses or industry and universal metering and meter repair and replacement program.
