Level 2 water restrictions now in effect.

Customers may water lawns and other vegetation on a restricted schedule as follows:  Addresses ending in an even number are allowed to water on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday except during the hours of 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.  Addresses ending in an odd number are allowed to water on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, except during the hours of 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.  No watering allowed on Mondays.

Watering times identified in Level 2, shall be adjusted by one hour in the afternoon, after such time that Daylight Saving Time ends in the Fall and resumes in the Spring. Therefore, during those months, customers may not water between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.

TEMPORARILY EXCLUDED FROM THE LEVEL 2 RESTRICTIONS BY APPROVAL OF THIS RESOLUTION:  No additional or new rural or extraterritorial water taps shall be granted or authorized, with the exception of 3/4” single-family residential taps.

Other restrictions as instituted in Resolution 1585 will be in effect as identified below:

1. Restrictions for institutional users and sod and seed permits will be in effect within the discretion of the Water Utility Director.  Notice will be provided to institutional users regarding such use.

2. Sprinklers shall be set so that water does not fall on hard surfaces such as sidewalks or driveways.  Sprinklers shall not be in operation during those times in which no one is at home.  Over-watering, which is when water runs off of the property onto the street, is prohibited. 

3.  Washing vehicles at home must be done with a bucket and a quick shut-off type nozzle at the end of the hose.

4. Water shall not be used to wash down driveways and sidewalks without the express permission of the Water Utility Director. 

5. The Water Utility Director is directed to promulgate rules and regulations regarding dispensing stations.  The rules and regulations shall set forth, at a minimum, notice provisions and procedures regarding quantity limitations and rates and charges.

6. The Water Utility Director is directed to promulgate rules and regulations regarding the transfer of extra-territorial water taps.  The rules shall set forth at a minimum, procedures regarding: 1) tap sizes; b) commercial and residential use; c) water conservation practices; d) limitations on uses; e) the size of the taps, and f) engineering requirements.  Until such rules and regulations are promulgated, there shall be a moratorium on changes in water tap size for extra-territorial water taps.

7. All extra-territorial water customers, including but not limited to, water associations, homeowners’ associations, and individuals, shall be encouraged to reduce water consumption and implement water conservation practices.

8. If, at some point in the future, City Council determines that such water restrictions should be more restrictive than the levels set forth above, they may by motion modify these restrictions.

9. This resolution imposing Level 2 water restrictions shall remain in full force and effect until such time that it is otherwise amended.
