The township asks that you limit unnecessary usage to reduce the demand on the water system during this time.

Similar to previous years, homes with even house numbers are permitted outdoor water usage on even calendar days and homes while odd house numbers can use on odd calendar days.

All outdoor usage must take place between the hours of 6 and 9 a.m. and 7 and 10 p.m. No one is allowed to irrigate during a rainfall.
