On Friday, June 11th, 2021 Willmar Municipal Utilities started implementing MANDATORY WATERING RESTRICTIONS Lawn watering and irrigation will be limited to all property based on address numbers. ddresses ending in an even number can water lawns on even numbered days and addresses ending in an odd number can water lawns on odd numbered days. The action was taken to reduce peak water usage in areas served by the city's system. Additionally, because of how much water is lost to evaporation, no lawn watering is permitted between 10am and 6pm. Watering of newly sodded or seeded yards is exempt from the odd and even day restriction for two weeks. Over seeding or spot repair of existing, established yards may be watered daily with a hand-controlled hose during allowed times. Activities such as car washing, water toys and filling small swim- ming pools are exempt. Hand watering of newly planted trees, flower pots, baskets and vegetable gardens is permitted at any time. Any sprinkler system not served by the city's system is exempt. WMU is issuing these restrictions as the city has been close to max capacity several times this month. By reducing our community's daily demand we can insure that all of our customers will continue to have access to reliable, safe water during these hot and dry days. These restrictions will be until further notice.
