Water Restrictions Lifed In Elizabethtown
Thanks to the recent rains around the county, the water restrictions have been lifted within the Elizabethtown town limits. The town’s Stage II Water Restrictions were put in place on Oct. 29, of last year, as an effort for residents to do their part in helping to conserve water.
Stage I Water Shortage Awareness, which is now in effect for the town, there are still a few limitations regarding irrigation of outdoor landscaping. These limitations include the watering of grass, shrubbery, trees, flowers and vegetable gardens.
Exceptions to these restrictions may be granted temporarily to persons engaged in the business of landscaping on a site by site basis for one to three days by permit issued by Eddie Madden Jr., Elizabethtown town manager.
Though the stricter limitations of Stage II have been lifted, town officials continue to encourage all customers to make efforts to conserve water.
“Water conservation is important in Elizabethtown because it preserves and protects our natural resources, saves money for you and your community, and ensures the reliability of our water supply,” Madden said in a recent statement.
