Homer City Council Member Jerry Payne said at the meeting on Tuesday night, July 8, that residents need to be reminded of the watering restrictions.
“We have people watering at times when they should not be,” Payne said.
Homer residents may hand-water existing landscape between midnight and 10 a.m. on designated days based on odd-numbered and even-numbered addresses for no more than 25 minutes.
Odd-numbered addresses may water on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. Even-numbered addresses may water on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Hand-watering is defined as one person with one garden hose with a spray nozzle that shuts off automatically when it is released.
In other business at the meeting on Tuesday, the council announced a work session meeting to be held at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 5, to discuss the rural water plan. v
