City of Raleigh Water Restrictions to Begin Monday

Raleigh residents must brace for water restrictions starting next week, as the city implements new conservation measures.

If you live in Raleigh, here’s something to keep on your radar — starting Monday, the city is putting Stage 1 water restrictions in place because of the ongoing drought.

Now, this isn’t anything too extreme, but it does mean we all need to be a little more mindful about how we use water. For example, if you’re watering your lawn, you’ll only be able to do it on certain days depending on your address — and only during early morning hours.

The goal here is simple: protect the water supply while still giving people some flexibility. Officials say this is more of a precaution right now, but it comes as water levels — especially at Falls Lake — aren’t where they normally are this time of year.

Bottom line… it’s a small adjustment, but it can make a big difference if everyone does their part.
