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 On October 11th, the authority rescinded all business exemptions to the county’s total outdoor watering ban, but did consider appeals from those businesses that must use water.

Paulding County toughens water restrictions
Paulding County has taken another stringent step in trying to combat effects of the drought. Its commissioners late Monday afternoon wiped-out watering exemptions for landscaping and car wash businesses that do not recycle water. Homes and businesses are now under orders to cut water-use by 10-percent, or face surcharges on their bills. Also, Paulding commissioners approved fines for first offenders of watering violations.
