From mid­night tonight un­til June 30, the Wa­ter and Sew­er­age Au­thor­i­ty has placed a ban on the use of hosepipes, sprin­klers, foun­tains and any sim­i­lar ap­pa­ra­tus for the pur­pose of wa­ter­ing pri­vate gar­dens and wash­ing pri­vate mo­tor cars.

Any­one found in vi­o­la­tion of the ban faces a $75 fine.

WASA is al­so en­cour­ag­ing its cus­tomers to con­serve their use of pipe-borne wa­ter sup­ply as the com­pa­ny is ex­pe­ri­enc­ing a de­cline in wa­ter pro­duc­tion dur­ing the 2024 dry sea­son.
