Attention: City Water <br />Customers - Odd /Even <br />Day Sprinkling Ban <br />To reduce peak water usage in areas <br />served by the municipal water system, the <br />City of Ramsey has implemented an odd/ <br />even day sprinkling ban, pursuant to City <br />Code, Section 58 -118. The sprinkling ban <br />will be in effect from May 26 until Septem- <br />ber 8, 2015. <br />Residents may water their lawns on odd numbered days if <br />their address ends in an odd number and on even numbered <br />days if their address ends in an even number. <br />The sprinkling restriction includes no watering between <br />10:00 am and 8:00 pm since a significant amount of water is <br />lost due to evaporation during the hottest times of the day. <br />Homeowners with automated systems are strongly encour- <br />aged to program their irrigation systems to operate after <br />10:00 pm. This minimizes evaporation and lessens peak <br />demand on the municipal water system. <br />The only exception to the sprinkling ban is for new sod or <br />seeded areas. These areas may be watered every day for two <br />weeks to establish root growth, but not between 10:00 am <br />and 8:00 pm. <br />In addition to the residential sprinkling ban, the City has <br />an irrigation policy that is specific to townhome, multifam- <br />ily residential and commercial connections to the municipal <br />water supply requiring that: <br />All irrigation systems must have an approved back - <br />flow device. <br />All irrigation systems must include a rain sensor <br />device to prevent irrigation systems from operating <br />during rain events. <br />If you have any questions, please contact Mary Jo Warner, <br />Engineering /Public Works Administrative Assistant, at 763- <br />433 -9820 or mwarner @cityoframsey.com. <br />Ramsey Police & Fire <br />Departments on Facebook! <br />The Police and Fire Departments now have their own <br />Facebook page at www.facebook.com /ramseypd.

Wearing a bike helmet can <br />reduce the risk of severe brain injury by 88 %. Yet, <br />only 45% of children 14 and under usually wear a <br />bike helmet. <br />Did you know? <br />• Every 2 minutes, a child is treated in an <br />emergency room for an unintentional cycle - <br />related incident. <br />• More children ages 5 to 14 are seen in <br />emergency rooms for biking related- injuries <br />than any other sport. <br />Non - motorized scooters cause more inju- <br />ries to kids than any other toy. <br />There are only two more opportunities in <br />Anoka County to purchase new "True -Fit" Bell' <br />helmets for $10 (while supplies last).
