Lawn Watering to Resume July 22 Following a Phased Approach!

Residential lawn watering to resume JULY 22, 2025!

On July 18, 2025, the Technical Committee voted to lift the ban on residential lawn watering beginning Tuesday, July 22. To manage demand, lawn watering must be conducted on the even/odd lawn watering schedule.

Even numbered addresses - Sunday, Wednesday, Friday

Odd numbered addresses - Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday

Skip lawn watering for all addresses on Monday

The goal of the phased approach is to allow lawn watering to begin again while reducing the odds of violating the nitrate standard. By gradually reintroducing demand into the system, we can effectively manage the water consumption and production levels. This is the quickest way to enable citizens to use automatic lawn sprinklers while still providing drinking water that meets all safe drinking water standards.

The first phase consists of residential lawn watering.

The second phase is commercial lawn watering - this includes businesses such as gas stations, business complexes, banks, malls, etc.

The third phase includes local governments including city, county, state, and school districts.

We are deeply appreciative of the support we have received during this event and look forward to exiting this Stage III of the Water Shortage Plan.
