Forsyth, Fulton, Dawson and Lumpkin are just 4 of the 61 North Georgia Counties that are now under a total outdoor watering ban. As homeowners, this means absolutely no watering lawns, pressure washing, or washing your car. There are a few exemptions which include commercial uses, new lawns commercially installed for the first 30 days, and irrigation of personal food gardens. For more details in Forsyth County, visit the
Forsyth County Government website, or your specific County's government/water department's website. The local water departments will be patrolling neighborhoods regularly for violators. And yes, this includes the middle of the night. Fines will be hefty, so please abide by the ban as we need to work together to conserve our water here in North Georgia.
