CITY UPDATES
CITY WILL TRANSITION BACK TO STAGE 1 OF THE DROUGHT CONTINGENCY PLAN
Beginning Monday, September 23, the City will transition back to Stage 1 of our Drought Contingency Plan, thanks to the community’s diligent efforts in water conservation. The commitment of our residents over the past few weeks has enabled us to ease certain restrictions while still promoting responsible water usage. Under Stage 1, lawn watering will be allowed twice a week, with the requirement to water only outside the hours of 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM to minimize evaporation. The updated schedule designates watering days for both residential and commercial properties, ensuring sustainable water management.
Residential Properties:
Even-numbered addresses: Sundays and Thursdays
Odd-numbered addresses: Saturdays and Wednesdays
Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional Properties: Tuesdays and Fridays
The City will share this information with residents via email, social media, our resident newsletter, and a video message from the Mayor.
