[Amended 8-9-1988]
The sprinkling or watering of lawns, flowers,
shrubs or gardens, washing of cars or the use of a hose or sprinkler
system so as to cause a spray or flow of water for any purpose whatsoever
with water supplied by the city is hereby prohibited, except between
the hours of 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. daily,
only in accordance with the following:
A.
Persons occupying residences or other establishments
with even-numbered addresses may water, hose, wash cars, sprinkle
or otherwise irrigate on even-numbered days of the month.
B.
Persons occupying residences or other establishments
with odd-numbered addresses may water, hose, wash cars, sprinkle or
otherwise irrigate on odd-numbered days of the month.
C.
Persons occupying residences or other establishments
without numbered addresses may water, hose, wash cars, sprinkle or
otherwise irrigate on even-numbered days of the month.
D.
Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit,
restrict or prohibit irrigation of any sort which is done by means
of water obtained from sources other than the Nassau County sole source
aquifer system referred to above.
Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, all
sprinkling or watering of lawns or gardens or the use of a hose or
sprinkler system shall cease immediately upon the sounding of a fire
alarm and shall not be resumed that day or night, as the case may
be.
Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Director of Public Works and/or Mayor is authorized to declare a public
emergency when the conditions warrant, during which time all sprinkling
or watering shall be prohibited.
All new or existing underground sprinkler systems
must be equipped with a rain sensor designed to shut off the system
during periods of precipitation. The deadline for installation is
30 days after the adoption of this article.
Hoses used for washing of vehicles shall be
equipped with a shutoff valve that is normally self-closing and necessitates
hand pressure on the valve to permit the flow of water.
