Alert asks Pierce County residents to follow watering schedule, skip Fridays
Many Artondale residents should avoid watering their lawns or gardens on certain days to conserve water this summer, according to an alert Monday to customers of Washington Water Service.
'As the weather warms up and water use tends to increase, Washington Water is asking our Artondale customers to conserve water throughout the summer so that we can continue providing the appropriate water supply for health, safety, and firefighting capabilities,' the alert said.
Customers who live in the area highlighted on a map Washington Water posted on its website should avoid outdoor irrigation from 4 a.m. to 9 a.m. and on Fridays, per the alert. Washington Water Service also asks customers to adhere to a watering schedule as follows:
▪ Water on Monday, Wednesday, Saturday if your address ends in an odd number (1, 3, 5, 7 and 9).
▪ Water on Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday if your address ends in an even number (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8).
The water district will inform customers when they can return to normal water use, the alert said. Those with questions or concerns can reach the Customer Service Center by calling (877) 408-4060, or emailing customerservice@
