Officials are also asking residents to check for leaks and repair them promptly as well as turn off hoses and faucets when not in use. The city says to offset the demand from sprinkler systems, eliminate irrigating on Monday and avoid irrigating between 6-9am.

The city also said odd-number houses should irrigate on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Meanwhile, even-number houses should irrigate on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
