waterSmart^SM is here to make saving water easy with state of science information, conservation programs, and more.

On June 10, 2009, the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) issued a non-drought schedule for outdoor water use, permitting outdoor water use in Georgia on assigned days. Odd-numbered addresses can water on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. Even-numbered and unnumbered addresses can water on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Keep in mind, an established lawn only needs about one inch of water every seven to ten days, and over watering can cause shallow root growth. waterSmart encourages you to only water your landscape when necessary, and be sure to water overnight or in the morning between the hours of 4 a.m. and 10 a.m. to maximize effectiveness and reduce evaporation. As always, we encourage you to conserve water both inside and outside the home, regardless of climate conditions, to save water, time and money.
