Water Usage Reminder

Did you know that the City of Durham has a Year-Round Water Efficiency Ordinance?

The mandatory schedule applies to any spray irrigation system and allows customers with addresses that end in an odd number to water on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Customers with even-numbered addresses are allowed to water on Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday. No watering is allowed to occur between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. on these days and no customers are permitted to water on Mondays.

Temporary licenses are available for the establishment of new landscapes and hand-watering, and drip irrigations systems are not restricted by this ordinance. For more information about the City of Durham’s Year-Round Water Efficiency Ordinance, visit www.DurhamSavesWater.org.

The Google Fiber Project:

Google is planning to launch an opportunity that will make Internet access better and faster for everyone. The networks will deliver Internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what is considered average by most Americans. The launch will make fiber-to-the-home connections over 1 gigabit per second.

There's something you can and should do to support the effort:

•Join the Facebook group (currently 2,200+ fans)
•Post to Twitter about our efforts using the hash tag #hifiberdurham
•Submit an idea on the HiFiber Durham web site or vote for an idea about how to use Google Fiber
•Nominate Durham individually for the network (perhaps the most important action you can take other than sharing this information with a friend). Just click "Get Involved" and nomiate Durham!
