How does the EPD decide on times for outdoor water-use schedules?
They set the times for the schedules based on local water-use patterns. The times set are based on when the most water is used: businesses use the most during the day to water their landscaping and homeowners use the most water outdoors (for washing cars and watering lawns and gardens, for example) when they get home from work. By scheduling water use during these times, EPD could quickly affect the amount of water being drawn from the resources available.
