On August 7, 2007 the Apex Town Council approved mandatory year-round water restrictions for all Town of Apex water customers.

Beginning October 1, 2007 Town of Apex water customers will be able to irrigate lawns and/or landscapes only three days a week according to the following schedule:

• Addresses ending with 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 - Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays
• Addresses ending with 2, 4, 6, 8, 0 - Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays

Lawn irrigation will not be allowed on Mondays. Hand held hose watering is allowed everyday. Apex water customers may obtain a 60-day New Landscape Permit from Public Works at 105 Upchurch Street to allow for irrigation of new plantings including newly sodded lawns, first yard seedings, or larger commercial plantings.

A written notice will be issued for a first violation of the new mandatory rules. Upon additional observation of violations, the violator will be subject to a civil penalty of up to $1,000 per violation per day. To report a violation, contact the Public Works Department at 249-3427. Please give the address, date and time of the observed violation. Public Works staff will investigate all reports of violations.
