DELAWARE COUNTY, Ohio (WSYX) — Del-Co Water, a member-owned, non-profit, cooperative water utility in Delaware County, has issued a mandatory outdoor watering schedule until Oct. 1st.

Del-Co Water says they need customers to limit all outdoor water use to help prevent serious issues in the water supply.

“We must reduce water demand to avoid a potential loss of pressure, which would interrupt water service and raise health and safety concerns,” Del-Co Water said in a social media post. “By implementing ‘irrigating best practices,’ you can do your part to reduce the demand on the water system.”

They are asking houses with odd addresses to water their yards on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. Even-numbered addresses are asked to do so on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. They said nobody should water their yard on Mondays.
