Woodbury To Begin Elevated Watering Restrictions Tuesday

WOODBURY, MN — The city of Woodbury will enforce stronger lawn watering restrictions beginning Tuesday, due to DNR drought designations, the city said.

Previously on an odd-even watering schedule, residents will only be allowed to water their lawns on the day their trash gets picked up, and one day out of the weekend, the city said.

For those whose trash gets picked up on Monday or Tuesday, you may now only water your lawn on Monday or Tuesday, and Saturday, the city said.

For those whose trash gets picked up on Wednesday or Thursday, you may now only water your lawn on Wednesday or Thursday, and Sunday, the city said.

Commercial properties can only water on Fridays, the city said.

Homeowners associations must follow the same restrictions as residential properties, the city said.

Community members are still prohibited from watering in between noon and 5 p.m., the city said.

Hand watering trees and plants, washing vehicles and children playing in sprinklers is still permitted, the city said.

According to the city, failure to comply with watering restrictions is a violation of city code and violators could be issued an administrative citation.
