New Irrigation Rules as of April 8, 2008

The Town of Clayton will begin allowing irrigation on the following days based on the address assigned to the individual property:

· No irrigation on Mondays

· Odd number addresses – Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday

Residents and businesses may irrigate consistent with the schedule shown whether they use an in ground irrigation system or hand watering. The same schedule will apply for personal car washing and other non essential uses of water.

Owners of property with inground irrigation systems should be reminded that they must have their backflow prevention device tested and certified prior to initiating seasonal operation.
