Georgetown Water Services
Through September 30, the following mandatory restrictions apply to outdoor water use for City of Georgetown water customers. Water customers should set irrigation controllers to the odd-even three-day schedule.
Water no more than three times each week, and follow this schedule for irrigation systems and sprinklers, based on the last digit of your address number:
Odd addresses
Tuesday and/or Thursday and/or Saturday

Watering with a sprinkler or irrigation system is not permitted during the day from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., or at any time on Monday.
Watering with a hand-held hose or bucket can be done any day and any time of day. Washing a vehicle can be done any day at any time. Violations of these restrictions may result in fines.
