Odd/Even Water Restrictions in Effect (April through October)
Borough Ordinance 114-40 requires ALL residents and business to conserve water by restricting outside watering between April and October using an odd/even schedule. Outside water usage, which includes the watering of lawns, plants, filling of pools and washing of cars is restricted.

What is an odd/even schedule?  The odd/even schedule is based on the street address of your home and the calendar date.  If your street address is an EVEN number, you may water on EVEN calendar dates. If your address is an ODD number, you may water on ODD calendar dates.  For example, August 1 is ODD and August 2 is EVEN.
