Indy residents can water again on Wed.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - Indianapolis residents will be able to water their lawns again, Mayor Greg Ballard announced Tuesday.

The Marion County watering ban will be over as of noon Wednesday. It’s been in effect since July 13.

While the ban is being rescinded, Citizens Water and the mayor told residents to follow the voluntary water restrictions that preceded the ban.

“I am pleased to lift the water ban with the strong word of caution that residents continue to be judicious in their water use," said Mayor Ballard in a news release. "Despite recent heavy rains, it falls upon everyone to work together and follow Citizens' voluntary conservation recommendations to keep demand low."

The voluntary restrictions are:

• Residents and businesses should limit watering of established lawns and trees to once per week.
• New sod and seed should only be watered on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
• Residents are asked not to wash cars or use hoses to clean sidewalks, driveways or other surfaces.
