Are You Following Acton's Water Conservation Schedule?
Anyone who violates the schedule may be subject to a $200 fine.
Acton has a strict lawn watering schedule that restricts households to one day of watering per week.
Residents with even-numbered addresses may water outdoors on Tuesdays, Thursdays, or Saturdays. Residents with odd-numbered addresses may water outdoors on Wednesdays, Fridays, or Sundays.
Watering may only occur before 7 a.m. or after 7 p.m. Watering during the day causes evaporation, according to the town.
