1. Irrigation of landscaped areas with hose-end sprinklers or automatic irrigation systems shall be limited to:

• Sundays and Thursdays for customers with a street address ending in an even number (0, 2, 4, 6 or 8)
• Saturdays and Wednesdays for water customers with a street address ending in an odd number (1, 3, 5, 7 or 9)
• Irrigation of landscaped areas is further limited to the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 10:00 a.m. on designated watering days. However, irrigation of landscaped areas is permitted at any time if it is by means of a hand-held hose, a faucet filled bucket or watering can of five (5) gallons or less, or drip irrigation system.

1. Use of water to wash any motor vehicle, motorbike, boat, trailer, airplane or other vehicle is prohibited except on designated watering days between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 10:00 a.m. Such washing, when allowed, shall be done with a hand-held bucket or a hand-held hose equipped with a positive shutoff nozzle for quick rinses. Vehicle washing may be done at any time on the immediate premises of a commercial car wash or commercial service station. Further, such washing may be exempted from these regulations if the health, safety, and welfare of the public is contingent upon frequent vehicle cleansing, such as garbage trucks and vehicles used to transport food and perishables.

a. wash down of any sidewalks, walkways, driveways, parking lots, tennis courts, or other hard-surfaced areas;
