Area Outdoor Watering Restrictions End

NJ American Water Co. on schedule of odd/even outdoor watering

New Jersey American Water Co. customers in Monmouth County are no longer restricted to watering their lawns on certain days of the week.

The schedule of odd/even outdoor watering that has been in effect since early July has ended but significant increases in water demand could result in the reimplementation of water use guidelines, according to a New Jersey American Water news release.

“Thanks to our customers’ cooperation, along with the return of precipitation and cooler weather, we have reached a point that watering restrictions are no longer necessary,” said Stephen P. Schmitt, vice president of operations for New Jersey American Water.
