Washington Township public water customers
are required to
restrict outside water use to an EVEN-ODD schedule.
Public water customers with an address ending in an ODD number (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) are only to water on ODD calendar days.
Public water customers with an address ending in an EVEN number (0, 2, 4, 6, 8) are only to water on EVEN calendar days.
Outside water use including automatic lawn and landscaping irrigation
is PROHIBITED between the peak hours of
5:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.
It is essential that Washington Township public water customers water comply with these watering restrictions to limit future water rates increases from the Great Lakes Water Authority.
Residents who ignore these restrictions will be committing a misdemeanor and may be issued a ticket.
These restrictions have been adopted in order to receive the best rates possible for public water customers.

The cost Washington Township pays for actual water consumption is based on the three factors: our peak hour usage, our max day usage, and our pressure demands. Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) reviews these factors annually to determine our rates.
Compliance with the Washington Township mandatory watering restrictions in the summer helps us to avoid GLWA public water rate increases due to WHEN we use the water.
