Camas Implements Stage 3 Voluntary Odd/Even Watering Schedule

Camas, WA — In order to take precautions to preserve its water supply, the City of Camas has issued a voluntary watering schedule. During the peak of the summer season, Camas uses nearly eight million gallons of water per day – which is almost three times as much as the rest of the year.

To conserve its supply, the city is implementing a Stage 3 Voluntary Odd/Even Watering (irrigation) Program for all residential, commercial, and public customers. The program will remain in effect through September 30.

Here are the details of the watering schedule:

• Addresses ending in an ODD number may water/irrigate outdoors on ODD-numbered days of the month.
• Addresses ending in an EVEN number may water/irrigate outdoors on EVEN-numbered days of the month.
• Exceptions are granted for vegetable gardens, newly planted lawns, and potted or hanging plants. These may be watered as needed to prevent damage and protect your investment. Using the water efficiently is always encouraged.

In their public statement, the city is grateful to citizens for their support. All residents are encouraged to conserve water in their homes and businesses. For more information, visit www.cityofcamas.us or contact Utilities Manager Sam Adams at 360-817-1563. His email is: [email protected]
