–Residential properties with addresses ending in an even number may water on Sunday;
–Residential properties with addresses ending in an odd number may water on Saturday;

–Commercial properties with address ending in an odd number may water on Tuesdays;
–Churches may irrigate on Friday;
–Multi-family complexes are allowed to irrigate only on Friday;

The watering schedule does not apply to water customers using a drip irrigation system to water gardens, plants, trees, shrubs and other landscaped areas. The city has set in place a fine schedule of between $100 and $500 for water users who violate the regulations.
