LOWELL, Mich. (WOOD) — The city of Lowell and Lowell Charter Township are implementing odd-even outdoor water restrictions for city water customers through the end of September.

Until Sept. 30, outdoor watering within the city and township limits is allowed on odd days for properties with an odd address and even addresses on even days.

“The restriction does not affect water used for drinking and bathing purposes. It limits when residents and businesses can water their lawns and landscaping to minimize the burden on the city’s water treatment plant during the warmer months,” a post on the city’s Facebook page said.

In the post, Lowell City Manager Mike Burns said that the city is “evaluating options to expand its water treatment plant to increase capacity.” He added that this restriction is to avoid a ban on landscape irrigation.
