New Irrigation Policy from H2Go

New Irrigation Policy
H2GO is implementing a new, mandatory irrigation policy to promote water conservation, and to reduce peak demands on the water distribution system. Before the next irrigation season begins, please set your automatic sprinkler controls to the schedule assigned by your odd or even numbered street address. Installing rain and soil moisture sensors on your irrigation controls will also help to conserve water and reduce unnecessary irrigation usage. Let us all do our part to conserve our water resources. Thank you.
Section 2.6 of H2GO’s Rules and Regulations
“b) Even numbered property addresses shall limit irrigation to Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. Odd numbered property addresses shall limit irrigation to Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. The use of pond water, rainwater and well water is not governed by this section, nor is the watering of plant material and lawns by use of drip irrigation, watering cans, hand-held hoses, and other hand-held watering tools.”
“d.1) Civil penalties. After the second written notice, a violation of this section shall subject the violator to a civil penalty of $100. Each subsequent violation shall subject the violator to a civil penalty of $250.”
“f) H2GO’s Executive Director or designee may grant temporary exceptions permits to the provisions of this Section 2.6 for periods of up to 45 days for the establishment of new turf year-round or for the re-establishment of turf seasonally. Such temporary exceptions shall be granted based upon the valid application of a customer.”
H2GO STAFF MAY BEGIN ISSUING NOTICES AND PENALTIES NEXT MONTH.
Thank you for your cooperation.
