Water System Update & New Irrigation Schedule
The booster station improvements are working as expected. We are seeing significantly increased water flows, along with much faster recovery times for the pumps and motors. These upgrades are helping improve the overall performance and reliability of the City’s water system.
New Irrigation Schedule
To help manage water usage and maintain adequate system pressure, please follow the irrigation schedule below:
• Odd-numbered addresses: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
• Even-numbered addresses: Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday
• No irrigation: Sunday
• All irrigation must be completed before 10:00 AM
Watering Tips
We encourage residents to water deeply and less frequently. This promotes deeper root growth, reduces reliance on surface moisture, and helps create healthier, more drought-resistant lawns and landscaping. Watering during the early morning hours also reduces evaporation and lowers the risk of fungal growth.
Thank you for your cooperation as we continue to improve and maintain our water system.
