E – Notice – Water Restrictions – Stage ll – August 6th
Dear Resident,
The hot weather and limited rainfall has led to a big increase in water use for irrigating. The Stage I restrictions that we have had in place have not moderated the demand enough to maintain reserves for firefighting and other emergencies so we need to immediately implement Stage II restrictions which limits the use of water for irrigation to two days per week. If your street address is an odd number, you may irrigate on Tuesdays and Saturdays only. If your address is an even number, you may irrigate on Wednesdays and Sundays only. Hand held hoses may be used at any time.
We appreciate your cooperation. I know that we have communicated several times about enforcement and compliance and we have stepped up our monitoring in this area. In order for us to address this issue, we must do so together – I think we would all want to avoid going to Stage III restrictions and we can go a long way in that goal by abiding by these conservation measures.
As usual, please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
Best,
Roberta Sonenfeld

It’s sad that those of us who comply have a brown lawn
Every day, without exception I see automatic sprinkler systems watering on prohibited days, including Monday(which is never allowed)
There is obviously zero enforcement so the rules are ignored.
Here’s a suggestion- double the fine and give a commission to village employee who writes the ticket.
I called the water company and was to told ” the police enforce it”
I couldn’t stop laughing…the police will not enforce unless you call and complain. Just like all nite parking, they do nothing.
Why not be a good neighbor and turn these offenders in?
