Existing Landscape – Hand watering is allowed from midnight-10am for 25 minutes based on odd-even address system. No watering is allowed on Friday. Hand watering is defined as one person with one garden hose with a spray nozzle that shuts off automatically when released.

New Landscape – You may apply for an exemption to water as needed with an irrigation system from midnight to 10 am by contacting the state’s outdoor water registration program at www.outdoorwateruse.com.
