NOTICE TO ALL TOWN WATER USERS

Hammonton is a wonderful place to live. Beautiful homes along with lush well manicured landscaping. All that lush landscaping is causing an excessive amount of water use beyond the limits suggested and permitted by the NJDEP. No one wants to lose their plants, shrubs or lawn. But there is a way to have a beautifully landscaped yard without over watering. In order to adhere to State Water Conservation Standards, we request that each homeowner and business owner put into practice the following measures.
The sprinkler systems only need to run for 30 minutes in each zone every other day. So if your house number is “even” you can water on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. If you house number is “odd” you can water on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Leave Sunday as a day of rest for the Town’s wells on the water system.
Our usage for water sprinklers has dramatically increased to a point where water conservation measures must be exercised by everyone. Homeowners and businesses with individual wells should also consider exercising these water conservation measures. One of the most dramatic abuses of the public water system is irrigation during rain events. The installation of rain sensing devices on your irrigation system will eliminate this abuse.
The Town Water Department cannot over emphasize the importance of conserving water. We hope everyone in the Town will read this notice and do what is right to help us stay out of harms way and get us through the summer without incident and risk of fines or the establishment of mandatory water restrictions.
Thank you for your time and support on this matter.
REMEMBER, WATER IS OUR MOST IMPORTANT RESOURCE, PLEASE TREAT IT AS SUCH.
