[HISTORY: Adopted by the Township Committee
of the Township of Hazlet 7-11-2006 by Ord. No. 1368-06. Amendments noted
where applicable.]
As used in this chapter, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
Lawn and garden watering, filling or refilling of pools,
and washing of automobiles or outside surfaces, such as driveways,
sidewalks or exterior surfaces of buildings.
Restrictions on outdoor water usage are in place
throughout the year. Outdoor water usage shall be restricted to alternate
days as follows: properties with odd-numbered addresses are permitted
outdoor water usage on odd-numbered days with the exception of the
31st of any month; properties with even-numbered addresses are permitted
outdoor water usage on even-numbered days. The local water purveyor
may assign service locations that do not have a physical address to
either an odd- or even-use schedule. These restrictions apply to properties
served by public water utilities and privately owned wells. Businesses
who by their nature rely on outdoor water usage as an integral part
of daily operations, such as nurseries, garden centers, car washes
or power washers, as well as newly planted sod, for a period of two
weeks after planting, shall be exempt from these outdoor water usage
restrictions.
In the event of a water emergency declared by
the local water purveyor, or by the Township Committee, or under county
or state authority, the Township Committee of the Township of Hazlet,
reserves the right to ban, by resolution, all outdoor water usage
until the emergency is ended.
This chapter shall be enforced by the issuance
of a summons and complaint by any police officer of the Township.
