Outdoor Watering Schedule
SSWD has returned to the odd/even outdoor watering schedule, which aligns with many other regional water purveyors. If your home or business address ends in an:
- Odd number water Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
- Even number water Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Remember:
- Watering 3 days or less per week is encouraged.
- No watering on Mondays.
- Watering between Noon and 8:00 p.m. is not recommended.
In April 2010, in addition to reinstating the odd/even outdoor watering schedule, SSWD’s Board of Directors declared a “Normal Water Supply” year, which means there is an adequate water supply to meet customers’ needs.
The District’s Water Conservation Regulation No. 15 lists the guidelines and restrictions for outdoor watering. For example, water that runs off lawns to adjoining properties or to a roadside ditch or gutter is prohibited. Violations are subject to enforcement procedures.
If you have questions regarding the odd/even outdoor watering schedule, please contact the Customer Service Team at 972.7171 during business hours.
