Is your lawn GREEN ENOUGH YET?

No, but stop watering anyway.  The City is facing PENALTIES if we continue to exceed use limits and those costs will be PASSED TO BACK TO ALL RATE PAYERS.   Keeping your lawn green will cost you some green because the City will be issuing citations for EXCESSIVE WATER USE.   This is a COMMUNITY ACTION, everyone needs to participate.  Here’s what YOU are expected to do:

  • Water lawns one day (OR LESS) per week according to the schedule
  • Water lawns between Midnight and 10 AM only
  • Don’t refill your pools

You could also consider checking your system so you’re not watering the street and watering by hand.

City Special Session Called: 6/1 @ 7 PM
