Water Use / Restrictions
The Director of the Georgia Environmental Protection Division has placed the entire state of Georgia under a non-drought schedule for outdoor water use.  Under a non-drought schedule, outdoor water use is allowed three days a week on assigned days using odd and even-numbered addresses.
  
  • Odd-numbered addresses can water on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays
  • Even-numbered and unnumbered addresses are allowed to water on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays
 Water use may occur at any time of the day on the assigned days, but to be water efficient, landscape watering should not occur between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.  The non-drought schedule is included in the Rules for Outdoor Water Use.

Also find out the latest information about the water restrictions and the drought conditions here.  

Newton County citizens may view Georgia Urban Ag Council's "It's OK to water... as long as you are water smart, Georgia." flyer here here.  This flyer informs Georgia residents when outdoor watering can occur.  Recently released.
