The Town of Annetta implemented mandatory water restrictions or the Deer Creek Water System effective at 5 p.m. on Thursday, July 20.
Landscape watering at each service address is limited to once per week. The allowable water days are based on the last digit of the address.
Odd-numbered addresses can water between 6 p.m. and 8 a.m on Wednesdays.
Even-numbered addresses can water between 6 p.m. and 8 a.m on Sundays.
Exceptions: are allowed for foundations, azaleas; new plantings (first year) of trees and shrubs may be watered for up to two hours on any day by a hand-held hose or a soaker hose.
The restrictions also reduce draining and filling of existing pools and prohibit filling of new pools. (Pools may add water to replace losses during normal use.)
A 10% rate surcharge will be billed for all water use of more than 21,000 gallons per connection per month.
Property owners are encouraged to wait until the current drought has passed before establishing new landscaping.
This will be in effect until further notification.
“As always, the Town of Annetta prioritizes the availability of safe, clean drinking water at reliable pressures for normal domestic use as well as adequate water storage levels to provide fire flow under emergency conditions,” according to a release from the city.
