Austin Enters Stage 2 Watering Restrictions

6th September, 2011 - Posted by katherine - No Comments

Effective today, the City of Austin is in Stage 2 Watering Restrictions.  You can learn more from this website.  The main change for most people is that rather than being allowed to water twice a week, residential customers may only water once a week.  Residential customers with odd addresses may only water on Saturday, and residential customers with even addresses may only water on Sunday. Here’s some info from  their website:

• Watering allowed 1 day per week for all Austin Water customers
• Hand-watering allowed anytime
• No automatic-irrigation after 10 a.m. on designated watering day
• Vehicle washing on designated day before 10 a.m.
• No charity carwashes
• No automatic fill valves for pools or ponds
• No outdoor fountains except to provide aeration for aquatic life
• No water to be served at restaurants unless requested
• No washing of sidewalks, driveways, parking areas or other paved areas
