    This means, lawn watering will only be permitted for even street numbers, between 6 and 8 a.m., and 8 and 10 p.m., Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. ODD street numbers can water their lawns between 6 and 8 a.m., and 8 and 10 p.m., Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

    The weather has been warm and dry lately, and that’s led the town of Deer Lake to issue a water conservation notice. Residents are asked to limit their outdoor water use to protect the water supply and water treatment infrastructure. The town’s water supply and treatment facility is experiencing a higher-than-usual demand. This means, lawn watering will only be permitted for even street numbers, between 6 and 8 a.m., and 8 and 10 p.m., Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. ODD street numbers can water their lawns between 6 and 8 a.m., and 8 and 10 p.m., Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. No lawn watering can take place on Monday. Residents with a new lawn may water it between 6 and 8 a.m. and 8 and 10 p.m. every day for 60 days following installation. Hand watering of lawns and gardens is always permitted. Residents can wash cars or house windows, provided it is done with a hose with a shut-off nozzle.
