Due to high demand on our water system, Stage 2 Water Restrictions are in effect starting Wednesday, July 22, at 2 p.m.

Under Stage 2 the following restrictions apply.

Watering your lawns, trees, shrubs and flowers is limited to:

• Even-numbered properties: Mondays and Thursdays;
• Odd-numbered properties: Tuesdays and Fridays;
• Permitted watering windows are either 5-10 a.m. OR 8-11 p.m. for a max. two hours.

Food producing gardens are exempt from stage 2 restrictions.

Washing your car is permitted with an automatic shut-off device during the permitted watering windows: 5-10 a.m. and 8-11 p.m.

Washing outdoor services like driveways, buildings and windows is not permitted except for health and safety purposes or as required to prep for painting/repairs.

Permits are available at City Hall for daily watering of *new* seed, sod, trees, and plants.

Conserving Water is critical to protecting our water system and ensuring access to clean drinking water and required water flows for firefighting.
