Know Your Watering Days
 Now that we have "sprung" forward and Daylight Savings time is here, your watering restrictions have changed. As we get into the warmer seasons of spring and summer, you are now permitted to water twice a week on your designated days. Odd-numbered addresses should water on Wednesday and Saturday, and even-numbered addresses should water on Thursday and Sunday. Non-residential properties should water on Tuesday and Friday. Just because you can water more, it doesn't mean that you have to or that your lawn necessarily needs it. Only water when it makes sense! To find out more about the watering restrictions, click here.
