The Orange Water and Sewer Authority in North Carolina held a public forum in January regarding the state of their local water supply, as well as proposed changes in OWASA?EUR??,,????'???s water conservation standards and ordinances that would further limit outdoor irrigation in Stage Two and Stage Three water shortages.
Stage Two restrictions are now in effect. The proposed changes would generally prohibit irrigation with hand-held hoses, soaker hoses, drip irrigation and micro-spray systems in Stage Two and prohibit all irrigation with OWASA drinking water in Stage Three. Stage Three restrictions have previously allowed outdoor watering with hand-carried watering cans or buckets.
Under the changes, Stage Two restrictions would mandate that OWASA-supplied potable water could only be used outdoors for irrigation purposes only by hand-carried watering cans or buckets, limited to a maximum of one-half inch of water applied to plant material in any given week.
