Drought Restrictions Lifted
On June 10, 2009, Dr. Carol Couch, Director of the Georgia Environmental Protection Division, lifted the restrictions on outdoor water use. All outdoor watering is now permitted as defined by the non-drought odd/even schedule. Even and Unnumbered addresses may water anytime on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. Odd addresses may water anytime on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. The need for the efficient use of outdoor water is not only tied to drought. It is necessary to maintain a healthy, vital landscape while preserving a limited natural resource.
Irrigation systems should be fully inspected by a certified irrigation professional before they are reactivated. Inactive irrigation systems can experience multiple problems, such as cracked or missing heads, misdirected nozzles, or broken lines. Cobb County Water System has an At Home Irrigation Audit and a comprehensive education program on how to use water efficiently outdoors while maintaining a beautiful landscape.
