Watering Rules Ease for Some

Residents in unincorporated urban areas such as Lincoln Village and parts of Colonial Heights can finally water their lawns a bit more liberally after county supervisors on Tuesday eased water conservation rules that date back to the drought. Most notably, residents can now water three days a week rather than just two. “I can tell you there are several people in my district who were very happy with this decision,” Supervisor Chuck Winn told county staff on Tuesday.
