Non-drought Outdoor Water Use Schedule


The entire state of Georgia is now under a non-drought schedule for outdoor water use. Outdoor water use is now allowed three days a week on assigned days based on address.

- Odd-numbered addresses can water on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.
- Even-numbered and unnumbered addresses can water on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.
- There is no watering allowed on Fridays.

Residents may water at any time of the day on the assigned days, but the Department of Watershed Management urges residents not to water between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when evaporation can create water loss without a corresponding benefit to landscaping. DWM also reminds customers that droughts are cyclical, and Georgians can expect another one at some point in the future.
Therefore, customers are urged to continue conservation
practices as much as possible.


Be mindful that residential vehicle washing is considered outdoor water use; residents should follow the non-drought schedule above. Under the new declaration, the City has resumed sale of irrigation meters, which bill only water, and not sewer, charges. For more information, contact Joe Murray at 404-330-6091.
