Level 2 restriction:

• Landscape watering by odd numbered addresses is allowed on odd numbered days.
• Landscape watering by even numbered addresses is allowed on even numbered days.
• Landscape watering shall not occur between the hours of 8:00 am and 7:00 pm.  

Any violation of the water restriction will be subject to penalties as described in Chapter 16 section 1610.9 of the Exeter Town Ordinance.

Conserve water to preserve it for drinking, sanitation, safety fire suppression.
