Water Conservation Measures Instituted In Point Pleasant

POINT PLEASANT, NJ — Point Pleasant is putting water conservation measures in place because of pressure on the water system from a lack of rain and high temperatures.

Borough officials said the town is instituting odd-even watering restrictions as a result.

"Due to the recent lack of rainfall coupled with the expected high summer temperatures, our water system has been operating at or near full capacity," officials said. "Please exercise all means possible to conserve water and to follow the outside water use restrictions."

The odd-even watering restrictions mean homes and businesses with an odd-numbered street address can water on odd-numbered days between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. Even-numbered street addresses can water between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. on even-numbered days.
