Lawn Watering Back But Use Less | Des Moines News

Central Iowa Water Works is easing up on water restrictions, lifting the full lawn watering ban but introducing a Stage Two Water Alert — meaning you can water your grass again, but you still need to cut back significantly. Effective Monday, July 20th, residents are expected to water one less day than the usual even-odd schedule to hit a 50% water use reduction goal. Officials credit community conservation efforts for improving water supply, but emphasize smart watering practices: water early in the morning, only when needed, shorten sprinkler times, and fix leaks. With summer heat still ahead, the goal remains clear — conserve wisely to ensure reliable drinking water for everyone.
