In response to Governor Sandoval’s request that Nevada communities implement water restrictions due to the drought, water restrictions are in effect within the city of Ely for all non- metered customers: Residents in even-numbered houses must water on even-numbered days and residents in odd-numbered homes must water on odd numbered days. As has been reflected on city billing statements, water customers are encouraged “to water between the hours of 5 to 10 a.m. and 5 to 10 p.m.”
I hope this restriction applies to the City of Ely and White Pine County. The county was watering the Court House lawn at 2:00 PM only two days ago.. A poor example to display.
