City Of Mendota Heights: Mandatory Outdoor Watering Restrictions Lifted

Press release from the City of Mendota Heights:

September 24, 2021

With rain bringing much needed relief from the drought in several areas across the state, Saint Paul Regional Water Services (SPRWS) has entered a Conserve Water drought response stage, and is no longer requiring odd/even outdoor watering schedules and time-of-day restrictions. This change is effective September 24, 2021.

Mississippi River flows are well above the 2,000 cubic feet per second that triggers drought action measures, and water use continues to drop as the beginning of fall weather brings in cooler daytime temperatures and fewer hours of sunshine.

Residents are encouraged to practice water conservation measures where they can as a matter of general water use:
