OKATIE, S.C. (WTOC) - The Beaufort-Jasper Water and Sewer Authority is asking those living in the area to stagger their water usage. According to a press release from the agency, demand for irrigation is reaching about 50% of the entire daily water demand.

Here is the irrigation schedule BJWSA would like customers to follow:

- Avoid irrigation on Mondays and any day between the hours of 3-9 a.m.
- Adjust irrigation timers to water only three days a week:
- Odd number addresses - Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday
- Even number addresses - Wednesday, Friday and Sunday (12 a.m. - 3 a.m. or 9 a.m. - 12 p.m.)
