Oliver gets water restrictions

The town of Oliver is in Stage 1 water restrictions impacting outdoor watering.

Properties that have water flowing through a water meter are using domestic groundwater for irrigating and should restrict irrigating to three days per week using even and odd numbering as a guideline, the town said in a release.

Residential underground irrigation systems can only water between the times of midnight to 7 a.m. on watering days and should adjust irrigation timers, the town said.

Odd Numbered Houses: house numbers that end in 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9 may use a sprinkler for lawns, trees and shrubs on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday only.

Even Numbered Houses: house numbers that end in a 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 may use a sprinkler for lawns, trees and shrubs on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday only.
