The drought may be over, but it never hurts to post a reminder about non-drought outdoor water use, right? Julie Gyuricza, Decatur’s storm water engineer, emailed me a recap of the state-wide outdoor water use for your reading pleasure:
The State of Georgia has returned to a non-drought schedule for outdoor water use. Under a non-drought schedule, outdoor water use is allowed three days a week on assigned days using odd and even-numbered addresses.
• Odd-numbered addresses can water on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.
• Even-numbered and unnumbered addresses are allowed to water on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Water use may occur at any time of the day on the assigned days, but to be water efficient, landscape watering should not occur between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. For more information visit the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ website.
Thanks for posting this Catherine. I know that some people had questions about the rules now the drought is over.
