Borough Imposes Water Restrictions Due To Dry Weather

Residents will only be allowed to water their lawns on certain days beginning May 1 as the borough imposes water restrictions.

The borough’s water supply is sourced, primarily, by wells. United Water supplements the remaining water needed.

The recent dry weather period the area has experienced has heightened the need to conserve water throughout the summer months.

Beginning May 1, automatic lawn, garden, and landscape watering is permitted on properties east of the railroad tracks on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays and properties west of the railroad tracks on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays.

In-ground water systems may only be used from 4 to 7 a.m. and above-ground systems from 4 to 8 p.m.. Automatic watering of systems may not be done on Fridays.

Residents may use a hand-held hose to water their properties anytime.

The restrictions are in effect until Sept. 30.
