Statewide Level 1 Drought Response Notice

 

Level 1 Drought Response: Let’s Be Smart About Water Use

The Georgia Environmental Protection Division has issued a statewide Level 1 Drought Response due to ongoing dry conditions. As a result, we’re asking all customers to help conserve water and use it wisely.

Here are a few simple ways to help: 

  • Check for leaks regularly—inside and outside your home—and fix them quickly 
  • Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth, shaving, or washing dishes 
  • Water your lawn only when needed, and make sure sprinklers aren’t hitting sidewalks or streets

Good news—you can still care for your landscape! Under Level 1 guidelines:

  • Watering lawns is allowed daily between 4 PM and 10 AM
  • Food gardens can be watered anytime
  • New plants, seeds, or turf can be watered anytime for the first 30 days
  • Drip irrigation and soaker hoses are allowed anytime
  • Hand watering (with an automatic shutoff nozzle or container) is allowed anytime

Every drop counts. Let’s work together to use water wisely and keep our community strong
