timber bend exempt alot of lawns being waterd there
There is a great deal of "Avon" that is not within the city limits....therefore the restrictions are not enforcable in areas governed by the county. If you see violations call the city or police. Neither of these agencies monitor this website for violations.
Want about the Prestwick area, can they water their lawns, etc.?
