Posted on: April 24, 2019Water Sprinkling Restrictions May 15 to September 15
Westmont, Illinois
Date Issued: April 24, 2019
Annually, the Village of Westmont has water sprinkling restrictions beginning May 15 and continuing through September 15. The restrictions only apply to mechanical sprinkling of lawns and gardens. Sprinkling by hand is never restricted.
“The purpose of the sprinkling restrictions is to ensure that our community water supply maintains a safe quantity in our water reserves,” said Public Works Director Mike Ramsey. “The ordinance does allow for hand sprinkling during restriction hours.”
ODD-NUMBERED street addresses should sprinkle on dates of the month having an odd number between the hours of 7 and 11 a.m., and between the hours of 7 and 11 p.m.
EVEN-NUMBERED street address should sprinkle on dates of the month having an even number between the hours of 7 and 11 a.m., and between the hours of 7 and 11 p.m.
The watering of trees, shrubs, flowers, and gardens shall be permitted at all times provided such watering is by means of handheld devices and only with such devices designed and intended for such purpose.
New sod and seed lawns shall be watered by permit only. Such permits shall be valid for a period of three weeks from the date sod or seed is installed, and shall not be renewed.
At any time in which there is an extreme shortage in the village water supply, as determined by the village, no water from village water mains shall be used for any purpose outside a residence, business, or other building other than for the extinguishment of fires or other emergencies.
Violation of village ordinances may result in a fine. If you have further questions or concerns, please contact Westmont Public Works at 630-981-6270.
