Trying to avoid water restrictions akin to last summerâs automatic sprinkler ban, the Falmouth Department of Public Works is proposing to limit residents to using sprinklers a few days a week.
If supported by the select board, the plan would allow homeowners and landscapers to water their lawns on a schedule based based their house numbers. It would be in effect year-round.
Under the proposal, odd-numbered homes would be permitted use automatic sprinklers on their property on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, and even-numbered homes are to use sprinklers Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. Watering would only be allowed between 8 PM and 8 AM each day and no one would be allowed to use sprinklers on Mondays, Falmouth Water Superintendent Cathal OâBrien said.
