<br />~ <br /> <br />Public Notice <br /> <br />Attention: City Water Customers <br />Odd/Even Day Sprinkling Ban <br /> <br /> <br />To reduce peak water us- <br />age in areas served by the municipal <br />water system, the city of Ramsey <br />has implemented an odd/even day <br />sprinkling ban, pursuant to City Code <br />4.40.06 subd. 10. The sprinl(ling ban <br />will be in effect from May 29 until <br />September 4. <br />Residents may water their <br />lawns on odd numbered days if their <br />address ends in an odd number or on <br />even numbered days if their address <br />ends in an even number. <br />The sprinl(ling restriction <br />includes a complete waterin~ ban <br />between 10:00 am and 8:00 pm <br />since a significant amount of water <br />is lost due to evaporation during the <br /> <br />hot portions of the day. Homeowners <br />with automated systems are strongly <br />encouraged to program their irriga- <br />tion systems to operate after 10: 00 <br />pm. This minimizes evaporation and <br />lessens peal( demand on the munici- <br />pal water system. <br />The only exception to the <br />City Code is for new sod or newly <br />seeded areas. These areas may be <br />watered every day for two weeks to <br />establish root growth, but not be- <br />tween 10:00 am and 8:00 pm. <br />In addition to the residen- <br />tial sprinl(ling ban, the City is in the <br />process of implementing an irrigation <br />policy that is specific to townhomes, <br />multifamily residential and com- <br /> <br />National Night Out (NNO) <br />is Tuesday, August 7 <br /> <br />On the evening <br />of Tuesday, August 7 <br />from approximately 6:00 <br />- 9:00 pm the entire na- <br />tion will be celebrating <br />National Night Out.

It was the <br />first year with the new, much larger <br />shelter. The day started with great <br />weather and lots of fun, but was cut <br />short by afternoon rain showers. <br />We discovered a lot of people can <br />fit under the shelter! Our thanks to <br />the many groups and volunteers that <br />helped with this year's picnic. Hope <br />to see you there next year. <br /> <br />8 <br /> <br />www.ci.ramsey.mn.us <br />
