Clarification of Village water policy

Beginning Friday, July 15 the water restriction on all outdoor water use is being replaced.

The POA is imposing and odd/even watering restriction. Residents and businesses with odd number addresses are restricted to watering their landscape on odd number days.

Residents and businesses with even number addresses are restricted to watering their landscape on even number days. All townhouse courts, regardless of their address, are assigned to even number days.

All landscape watering is required during non-daylight hours.

The amount of water available to Hot Springs Village is not the issue. The ability to treat water for consumption is. Hot Springs Villages' water treatment plan is limited to 4 million gallons of water in a 24-hour period. Water users are exceeding this more frequently. When the amount of water is exceeded, water is used from the storage tanks.

Continued excessive use limits the fire departments ability to fight any type of fire, could limit the availability of tap water, and in some cases can cause boil orders due to loss of pressure.

This water restriction will be in place for some time, so please adjust your landscaping timers to accommodate.
