Chatham County Water Utilities is urging all water customers to follow the year-round mandatory irrigation schedule and voluntarily not use county water to wash cars or paved areas and to be careful in watering lawns and gardens.
Although not currently in drought conditions, Chatham County Water Utilities noted a dramatic increase in water consumption for the last week, and due to limited rainfall and the heat wave the utility encourages all customers to conserve water.
