The rules were put in place by Colorado Springs Utilities (CSU) to help conserve water.From now until October 15, CSU is asking customers to limit lawn watering to three days a week before 10:00 a.m., or after 6:00 p.m.The other key factors of the Water Wise Rules are listed below: don't let water pool on hard surfaces or flow down gutters repair leaking sprinkler systems within 10 days use a shut-off nozzle when washing anything with a hose clean hard surfaces (including driveways, sidewalks and patios) with water only if there is a public health and safety concernThe Water Wise Rules are in effect to keep water in the Colorado River, which is where we get about half our water supply. If you break the rules, you can face a $100 fine.For more information about the Water Wise Rules, visit CSU's website._______Watch KOAA News5 on your time, anytime with our free streaming app available for your Roku, FireTV, AppleTV and Android TV.
