In light of Governor Easley’s call for increased conservation, Cary is asking residents to discontinue all outdoor watering using automated devices starting November 1.  Handwatering will still be permitted any day of the week. 

The new water rules come with new penalties.  Customers will be given one warning for violating the new rules before any fines are assessed.  Those who violate the rules a second time face a fine of $500 and $1,000 for each additional violation.  The Town could discontinue water service to a violator who violates the rules six times.

Full details can be found in Cary's press release.

Update October 23rd:

Cary issues press release urging residents to join in support of Gov Easley's challenge to cut water consumption by 50% between now and October 31st.
