How does the new sprinkler ordinance work?

The new sprinkler ordinance is in effect through the months of July and August only, and requires that lawn watering, whether it be done with an in-ground system or a moveable hose and sprinkler, be done only twice a week. 

If your house or business is on the east side (Narragansett Bay side) of Route 1, then you may water on Mondays and Thursdays only. If you are located on the west side (Exeter side) of Route 1, then you may water on Tuesdays and Fridays. No watering is permitted during the hottest part of the day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on any day.
