    Each year, warm weather brings a higher demand on water systems—leading to decreased potable water reserves and low water pressure. In extreme cases, it puts the water system at risk and makes it difficult to fight a fire.

    • Residents with odd number civic addresses may use outdoor water on odd number calendar days
