Does the Outside Water Use Program permit the use of sprinklers as a way to cool off in the summer?
A Yes. Recreational use of water, such as with children’s sprinklers or slip-n-slides is permitted anytime in Levels 0 (Blue), 1 (Yellow) and 2 (Red). Another way to stay cool while conserving outside water is to make use of water toys or small containers filled with water to keep children and pets cool on a hot day. They are as efficient as running through a sprinkler.
