Amidst Heat Wave, Woodbury Urges Community To Limit Water Usage

WOODBURY, MN — In light of the recent heat wave in the Twin Cities, Woodbury urged its residents and businesses to practice water conservation.

The city released a statement reminding residents of its odd/even watering restriction schedule, in which homes or businesses addresses ending in an odd number may water their lawns on odd-numbered calendar days each month and addresses ending in an even number may water on even-numbered days of the month.

Watering lawns between 12-5 p.m. is prohibited regardless of what day it is, the city said. Violators, including first-time offenders, will receive an administrative citation, the city said.

Additional restrictions will go into place if water usage reaches 93 percent of firm capacity, the city said. If water consumption reaches 96 percent of firm capacity, a full watering ban will be put into place, the city said.
