Madison Asks Residents, Businesses To Conserve Water

MADISON, NJ - Summer is fast approaching and Madison officials want to make sure there is enough water to go around.

To that end, Borough administrators and the Madison Water Department are asking all Madison residents and businesses to observe voluntary water use restrictions during the summer months.

Outdoor use for lawn and shrub watering, car washing, driveway and sidewalk washings is restricted to alternate days, borough officials advised. Residents and businesses with even-numbered addresses may use water outdoors on even-numbered dates, while residents and businesses with odd-numbered addresses are restricted to using water outdoors on odd-numbered dates.

The use of water outdoors is permitted from 12:01 a.m. to 8 a.m. and then from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m. midnight on the designated days.

Officials noted there should be no outdoor water use between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. on any day.

For information about the voluntary water use restrictions, call the Madison Water Department at (973) 966-7330 or visit the website.
