CITY OF ROCKFORD

WATERING BAN

The City of Rockford is enacting the odd – even watering ban effective immediately

The odd - even system works as follows:

If your house number is 6000 (even number) you will water on the 2nd & 4th, etc.

If your house number is 6001 (odd number) you will water on the 1st & 3rd, etc.

The University of Minnesota’s Horticulturist Department has stated that sod can be watered

every other day and an established lawn only needs one inch of water per week. Grass seed however, does need to be watered every day. If you have grass seed planted you may contact the Public Works Department at 763 477-4346, to be placed on a waiver list.

The City urges resident to adhere to the ban to avoid a city wide total watering ban. The Wright County Sheriff’s Department will be enforcing this ban. The watering ban will be in effect until further notice.
