Water Restrictions

Raleigh, N.C. — New, year-round lawn-watering restrictions are in effect, starting Monday for Raleigh customers.

Watering will be limited to three days a week. Odd-numbered addresses can water on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Even-numbered addresses can water on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. No watering can take place on Mondays.

The rules also apply to people in Garner, Knightdale, Rolesville, Wake Forest, Wendell and Zebulon, which get their water from Raleigh. The restrictions do not apply to hand-held hoses.

Those who violate the water restrictions will first receive a written warning. A second violation will cost you $50. The penalty goes up to $200 for a third violation.

Violators who get caught a fourth time will have their water turned off.

Watering at night will preserve water, but invite mold if you have vegetation that is sensitive to it. It is best to water very early in the morning. Some one should invent a statue that holds a sprinkler, it would like some one hand-watering.

WardofTheState - Good God man! I assume you are being purposefully obtuse....hopefully?? If your address is 3442 Whatever street, it is even. There is no "first" number or "last" number. It is just one number - three thousand, four hundred and forty two. It is even because you can divide it by 2 and get another whole number. I assume what you are trying to get as are the individual digits. In that case, the final digit of any even numbered house will be 0,2,4,6, or 8.
