Irrigation Restrictions through Sept. 30
Irrigation Restrictions May 1 - September 30
Pursuant Municipal Code 401.120, no person shall irrigate between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on any day from May 1 through September 30 each year. The purpose of this City Ordinance is to conserve groundwater resources and prevent the wasteful and harmful effects of irrigation during the mid-day hours.
The City of White Bear Lake and many other communities depend on groundwater for their drinking water supply. Increasing demands on the water supply makes groundwater conservation and management a top priority. Reducing water use is critical for protecting the sustainability of the groundwater supply in the future.
The Metropolitan Council, through funding from the Clean Water Land and Legacy Amendment, has awarded the City of White Bear Lake a water efficiency grant with the goal of reducing water consumption. As a result, the City is providing up to $200 in rebates to water utility customers who replace existing high-flow toilets with WaterSense Certified toilets that flush 1.28 gallons of water or less.
