The recent hot weather, reduced rainfall and water run-off into Phillips Reservoir requires us to move to Stage 2 watering restrictions, effective at 12pm on Wednesday August 27, 2025. Stage 2 watering restrictions means that you may only water two days per week. Even numbered addresses may only water on Monday or Thursday, and odd numbered addresses many only water Tuesday and Friday between the hours of 5am to 10am or 8pm to 11pm – not both - to a maximum of two (2) hours. These restrictions will remain in effect until further notice.
