Starting Thursday, the city is issuing a “stage two” water conservation ordinance that limits how often people can water their lawns or pastures.
Residents’ water usage will be limited to three days a week and only between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m., when less evaporation occurs, according to North Bend Public Works.
“Western Washington is now experiencing its driest summer on record, since 1930 and warmest since the 1890s,” areads in part. “The prolonged period with no rain, along with an unseasonably hot September and October, have drawn the Masonry Pool lower at a faster pace than anticipated.” Customers with odd street addresses can irrigate on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, and customers with even street addresses can irrigate on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.“The City appreciates residents’ efforts to comply with the WCO,” reads the news release. “Due to shorter days and longer, cooler nights, the City is confident the odd/even water schedule will provide sufficient water to sustain landscaping.
