Even with recent rains, Stonewall and surrounding areas remain in a Stage 2 drought response. Our goal is to achieve a 20 percent reduction in total water use. Please observe the following restrictions:

Irrigate landscaped areas once weekly between the hours of 8pm - midnight or midnight - 10am. Use of a hand-held hose or drip irrigation system is permitted anytime with the previously stated hours.
Limit vehicle washing to weekly.
Restrict wash down of sidewalks, driveways and other hard-surfaced areas.
Repair leaks as soon as possible.
