Updated Odd/Even
Water Use Restrictions:
.
· Properties with even numbered ad- J
dresses can water on even days be-
fore 12 noon and after 6 pm and
odd numbered addresses can water
on odd days before 12 noon and
after 6 pm.
· No lawn, garden, landscape sprinkling 0
or other irrigation is allowed between
noon and 6 pm.
. Hand watering (with an attended hose)
of flowers and plants is not restricted
at this time.
D
. Daily watering permits are available at
City Hall for watering of new seed or
sod.
. Properties with daily watering permits
are still not allowed to water between
12 noon and 6pm.
. Other non-irrigating outside water
uses such as vehicle washing e not
restricted at this time.
It may seem a little early to be
thinking about outside water
use, however, here is an early
notice of what Farmington water users
can expect for 2002.
In order to ensure that the public
safety and essential needs of the citi-
zens are not jeopardized while still
allowing water use flexibility, the Wa-
ter Board has revised the policy on
Water Use Restrictions. The revision
goes into effect Jan-
~ uary 1, 2002 and is in
effect year round.
If weather conditions
require a complete or
revised ban in the
future, up-to-date in-
formation will be posted on the City's
website at www.cLfarmington.mn.us
and the City's cable information chan-
nel 16.
Failure to comply with the water use
restrictions policy results in a fine of
$25 for the initial incident and $50 for
each subsequent violation during the
same calendar year. Please call 463-
1610 with questions.
