The Georgia Water Stewardship Act went into effect statewide on June 2, 2010.  It allows daily outdoor watering for purposes of planting, growing, managing, or maintaining ground cover, trees, shrubs, or other plants only between the hours of 4 p.m. and 10 a.m.

Outdoor water use for any purposes other than watering of plants, such as power washing or washing cars, is still restricted to the current odd/even watering schedule. 

Odd-numbered addresses can water on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.  

Even-numbered and unnumbered addresses are allowed to water on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.  

Please call the Athens-Clarke County Water Conservation Office at 706-613-3729 for more information.
