If I put in a new lawn this summer, can I water more frequently?

Short term exemptions to the ordinance will be issued at the Water Department on a case-by-case basis. In order for an exemption to be approved, your lawn installation must be of a critical emergency nature such as a required septic system replacement. 

Routine lawn and landscape upgrades should be accomplished in the Spring or Fall months, and no exemptions will be issued for these.
