Water customers for the Fayetteville Public Works Commission will begin watering schedules for outdoor irrigation on Saturday, May 1.

Each year from May 1 through September 30, all PWC water customers are required to follow the revised Odd/Even watering schedules as outlined in the City of Fayetteville’s Water Shortage Response Ordinance.

Customers with street addresses ending in an even number (0,2,4,6,8) may water on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. If your street address ends in an odd number (1,3,5,7,9) you may water on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday.

Watering schedules apply to irrigation systems and other sprinkler devices only. Watering by hand is allowed on any day of the week. The mandatory schedules apply only to outdoor watering for grass, shrubbery, trees, flowers and vegetable gardens. It does not apply to other outdoor water use, such as washing cars or pressure washing.

The purpose of the watering schedules is to better manage our community’s water use, prevent high peaks of water use, and take proactive measures to deal with a future water crisis.

Customers are reminded to be water wise and follow mandatory watering schedules; however, they are not required to water on all allowable days.
