City of Chaska Enforcing Odd-Even Watering
Restrictions
As part of the State Mandated Water Conservation Plan and in order to
insure adequate water supply for water protection, the Chaska Water
Department has implemented an odd-even lawn-watering program. This
program greatly reduces the City’s peak water demand during the heavy
usage months between May 1st and September 30th.
The City of Chaska Water Department is requesting residents to comply
with this program. You are required to limit your lawn sprinkling and other
non-essential water use based on your address and the calendar day of the
month. If your address is an odd number, you must limit your lawn
sprinkling to odd number calendar days. Likewise, your neighbor with an
even numbered address must limit their lawn sprinkling to even number
days.
COMPLIANCE
WITH
THIS
ORDINANCE
IS
MANDATORY. Failure to comply may result in a
$100 fine and/or termination of water service. Unestablished new seed or sod is exempt from this
ordinance for a 14-day period. Thank you for
your cooperation! If you have any questions or concerns
regarding this ordinance, please feel free to call the Water
Department at (952) 448-4335.
City of Chaka City Ordinance Chapter 25 Water, Article I In General,
Section 10 - Restricted hours of use of water.
