Q: What are my watering days?
|
|
A: Watering days are determined by the last
number in your address. If your address ends in an
even number, or if you have no address (for example,
the entranceway to a subdivision), your watering days
are Thursday and Sunday. If your address ends in an
odd number, your watering days are Wednesday and
Saturday. You may hand water on any day using a hose
with an automatic shut-off valve attached. Please be
advised that certain entities such as parks and golf
courses may have special exceptions to these
restrictions, and may utilize reclaim for
irrigation.

Q: What if I am using reclaim?
|
|
A: Customers using reclaim for irrigation may
water on any day of the week, however they should
not irrigate during the hours of 10:00 AM and 4:00
PM. Please remember that while reclaim is beneficial
and perfectly safe for plants and grass to "drink",
it is not recommended that people consume it or use
it to fill swimming pools. If irrigating plants that
bear fruit or vegetables, it is a good idea to rinse
them thoroughly before eating or cooking with them.
