With the increasing need for water conservation, the city of Atascocita has implemented new water restrictions for 2024. These measures are designed to safeguard our water supply, ensure sustainable use, and address the ongoing drought conditions affecting our region.
Key Restrictions:
Outdoor Watering
- Days: Outdoor watering is restricted to twice a week.
- Times: Watering is only allowed between 6 PM and 10 AM to minimize evaporation.
- Odd/Even Schedule:
- Odd-numbered addresses can water on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
- Even-numbered addresses can water on Thursdays and Sundays.
Prohibited Activities
- Car Washing: Washing vehicles at home is prohibited unless you use a handheld bucket or hose equipped with an automatic shut-off nozzle.
- Paved Surface Cleaning: The use of water to clean driveways, sidewalks, and other paved surfaces is not allowed.
- Fountains: Operating outdoor fountains and water features is prohibited unless they recirculate water.
Exceptions
- Newly Planted Landscapes: New lawns and plants may be watered for up to 30 days after installation to help them establish.

Penalties

Useful Tips for Compliance:
- Install Smart Irrigation Controllers: These devices help ensure your lawn receives the right amount of water without over-watering.
- Use Mulch: Mulching around plants helps retain moisture in the soil.
- Check for Leaks: Regularly inspect your irrigation system for leaks or broken sprinkler heads.
By adhering to these restrictions, you contribute to the collective effort to conserve water and protect our community’s resources.
