Jackson County officials have extended an outdoor watering ban that already affects landscapers. The county’s Water and Sewer Authority voted to ban concrete contractors, pavers, pressure washers and hydro-seeders from using county water. Brick mason and car washes are not under this new ban, however car washes are being asked to conserve and cut their water consumption by 40-50 percent. On October 11th, the authority rescinded all business exemptions to the county’s total outdoor watering ban, but did consider appeals from those businesses that must use water.
