Variances from watering restrictions
In some limited situations, we may be able to grant a variance from the outdoor watering schedule. Variance forms, along with a description of the eligible circumstances, are below. Variances will not be granted for overseeding, conflicts with trash pickup, or lawn maintenance.

Athletic Fields

Athletic fields may request a variance to allow the use of an automatic irrigation system between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. to suppress dust on the infields prior to games. This variance does not allow for irrigation of turf areas unless incidental to the infield head/zone locations.

Athletic fields may also request a variance from the Tuesday/Friday watering schedule when these days conflict with scheduled games and would result in an unsafe or unplayable surface.
