Stage 2 Water Restrictions in Effect
June 5, 2025
Effective immediately, the City is downgrading to Stage 2 Water Restrictions from Stage 3.
Last week, on May 31, the City entered Stage 3 Water Restrictions after a storm caused damage at the Fairy Creek Facility. The damage has been successfully repaired allowing a downgrade of restrictions to Stage 2.
Under Stage 2 Regulations, the following restrictions apply:
Residential Lawns, Trees, Shrubs, Flowers, and Plants: Watering is limited to a total maximum of 2 hours per day, either in the morning between 5:00 AM - 10:00 AM or in the evening from 8:00 PM - 11:00 PM.
- Even-numbered properties may water on Mondays and Thursdays
- Odd-numbered properties may water on Tuesdays and Fridays
These restrictions do not apply to the watering of a vegetable garden or edible plants.
Car Washing: Washing of vehicles is permitted with an Automatic Shut-Off Device between the hours of 5:00 AM – 10:00 AM or 8:00 PM – 11:00 PM.
