Bernalillo County Water Restrictions to Take Effect April 1

The seasonal water restrictions in the Bernalillo County Water Conservation Ordinance will take effect April 1. Water restrictions include no outside sprinkler watering between the hours of 11 a.m. – 7 p.m., the hottest part of the day.

Residents are encouraged to try additional water conservation efforts. These include tuning-up sprinkler systems, checking for leaks and checking sprinkler heads for overspray onto sidewalks or into the road and making necessary adjustments. BernCo community centers have FREE toilet leak dye tablets available for the public to take home and use.

The water restrictions apply to residents, who live in the unincorporated areas of Bernalillo County, outside of the city limits. The Water Conservation Ordinance remains in effect until Oct. 31.
