LAKEWOOD, NJ – New Jersey American Water is asking residents to start odd and even day watering schedules to avoid future mandatory restrictions as summer continues to heat up and and rain has been scarce in recent weeks.
“Given the recent consecutive days of hot, dry weather in Monmouth and Ocean Counties, New Jersey American Water is asking that customers in this region take additional steps to conserve water now, and at the same time save some money on their water bills.” the company said today.
“After a few weeks of cooler weather, the hot and dry weather seems to be here to stay,” said Carmen Tierno, senior director of operations at New Jersey American Water. “Because of this region’s increase in population during the summer months, New Jersey American Water is urging customers to begin using an odd/even schedule for outdoor watering to potentially avoid more stringent summertime restrictions of water usage.”
Practicing odd/even watering now will help the company manage a finite supply of water, and New Jersey American Water customers will still be able to maintain their lawns and gardens.
