On Tuesday, March 3rd 2009 the Georgia Environmental Protection Division ordered a revision to current water restrictions. The new order allows for drip irrigation and soaker hoses for up to one hour - three days per week - before 10 AM.

This is the extent of the modification to the state-wide watering restrictions and is the first such change since 2006. Residents are still allowed 25 minutes of watering with traditional garden hoses - three days per week - before 10 AM.

Lake Lanier has made marginal gains recently and is up 8 inches since our last weekend’s rains. The lake is currently at 1057.75 with full pool being 1071. This is a 13 foot deficit, but 11 feet lower than it was last year at this time.
