Saint Paul Regional Water Services updates water conservation measures due to ongoing drought conditions.
Although cooler temperatures are here, the area remains in a severe drought that is impacting communities across the Twin Cities and beyond. Saint Paul Regional Water Services (SPRWS) - where most City of Little Canada residents get their water - is requesting increased water conservation measures.
Effective Thursday, September 7, SPRWS is asking water customers to engage in these watering schedules until the end of the year:
Odd/Even Watering
- SPRWS customers with odd-numbered addresses are asked to limit outdoor watering to odd-numbered days of the month.
- SPRWS customers with even-numbered addresses are asked to limit outdoor water use to even-numbered days of the month.
Watering Time Restrictions:
- SPRWS customers are asked to limit outdoor watering to the cooler times of the day - before noon or after 6 p.m. - to minimize evaporation.
Exceptions to the Request Include:
- Commercial uses of outdoor water, including nurseries or community gardens.
- Watering of new sod or seed if daily watering is required.
