Ridgewood NJ, last night Ridgewood Water got the OK for a whole host on new water restrictions.
Highlights of new “Irrigation Schedule & Water Emergencies” Ordinance (#3588):
1) New schedule is effective year round.
2) Residential & commercial properties irrigation schedule: odd numbered addresses may water only on Tuesdays and Saturdays; even numbered addresses may water only on Wednesdays and Sundays.
3) Government owned properties (i.e., VOR & BOE) may water only on Mondays and Fridays.
4) Irrigation via hand held hose or drip/micro irrigation system is permitted on any day.
5) Irrigation via automatic systems is permitted only between the hours of 3AM and 7AM.
6) No irrigation of any kind, including hand held hoses, is permitted between the hours of 10AM and 6PM.
7) ALL automatic systems MUST be equipped with rain sensor devices.
8) Automatic systems using “Smart Controllers” may be granted exceptions to compliance with established irrigation schedule (i.e., if your automatic system uses a smart controller you can water on any day of the week).
