Residents may use hand held hoses anytime to water trees, shrubs, flowers and vegetable gardens; to fill wading pools up to 50 gallons; and to wash cars. Root feeders for trees are also allowed any time.

Property owners may use lawn sprinklers for eight hours on the day the sod or seed is placed on the lawn. For the next nine days, lawn sprinkling is permitted anytime between the hours of 6-10 a.m. and 6-10 p.m. On the eleventh day, property owners must adhere to the general sprinkling regulations.
