Pampas Grass Tips February 16th, 2011

Mr. Weedy says: Pampas grass and maiden grass can be pruned now. Remove any brown foliage leaving only the stems of the grass 12 inches high. If you decide to leave the grasses uncut this season, unwanted grass stems will blow around your landscape on a windy summer day.

Weed Pro – Outdoor Water Schedule October 12th, 2009

Frequently Asked Questions

Drought and the Statewide Outdoor Water Use Schedule

 

1. If the drought is over, why do I have to follow an outdoor water use schedule?

Georgians proved that water conservation during the drought saved a significant amount

of water. Water conservation is important during times of drought as well as non-drought, and results in environmental and economic benefits. The schedules offer a

reasonable opportunity to use water wisely by reducing the overuse of water in the

landscape. To learn more about water conservation around the landscape and in the

home and business, go to www.conservewatergeorgia.net.

 

2. The current statewide non-drought

outdoor water use schedule is:

 

 Odd numbered addresses are allowed to use water outdoors on Tuesdays,

Thursdays and Sundays

·

Even numbered and unnumbered addresses are allowed to use water outdoors on

Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays

· NO WATERING ON FRIDAY

· The outdoor water use schedule applies to customers (households and businesses)

who receive water from an entity (public and private) with a water withdrawal permit

or a permit to operate a drinking water system.

· Water use may occur at any time of the day on the assigned days, however landscape

watering is discouraged between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. because of its limited

effectiveness.

It is important that you contact your local water provider to find out if the local outdoor

water use schedule is different than the state schedule.

 

3. The following outdoor water usages are allowed on any day and are not subject to the odd/even schedule.

(a) Capture and reuse

of cooling system condensate or storm water in compliance with
