City of Gretna Voluntary Water Conservation
Web - Voluntary Watering
With the continuing heat and dry weather patterns, the wells that provide water throughout the City of Gretna system are struggling to keep up with demand. Increased demand
stresses the entire system as evidenced by recent water main breaks. In order to protect the system and continue to provide water to our customers we ask for voluntary watering
on alternate days as follows:
If your address ends with an odd number (1, 3, 5, 7, 9), water on Monday, Wednesday and/or Friday.
If your address ends with an even number (2, 4, 6, 8, 0), water on Tuesday, Thursday and/or Saturday or Sunday.
Did you know early morning watering this time of year can impact water pressure? Although the City has adequate water supplies, we do see very high demands and some
pressure loss in our system in the early morning hours when customers irrigate their lawns.
You can help reduce peak demands and maintain more optimum pressures in the system by switching up your sprinkler schedule.
