What does this mean?
- Non-essential outdoor watering is banned between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.

- Odd house numbers may conduct non-essential outdoor watering before 7 a.m. and after 7 p.m. on Thursdays
- Even house numbers may conduct non-essential outdoor watering before 7 a.m. and after 7 p.m. on Tuesdays
