News Outdoor watering restrictions lifted
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Wed, Feb 13, 2008 at 5:22 PM
Carol Couch, the director of the state Environmental Protection Division, opened the floodgates yesterday and said that Georgians in the 61 drought-afflicted counties may commence limited outdoor watering once their communities give the green light. Be sure to check if your area has decided to do so.
One person with one hose can water between midnight and 10 a.m. for 25 minutes, three days a week on an odd-and-even-based street address system. If you've got newly installed landscaping, you can water on that same system three days a week for 10 weeks after you've completed an online Outdoor Water Use Registration Program. It's free and will be available here March 15.
