We encourage all customers to follow the water use schedule required in the Water Stewardship Act of 2010 (https://epd.georgia.gov/water-conservation). As a reminder, the State Legislature instituted the Georgia Water Stewardship Act in year 2010 that allows daily outdoor watering only between the hours of 4 p.m. and 10:00 a.m.
Please visit the conservation section of our website: ncwsa.us to learn more about a variety of ways that you can do your part in conserving water, which is our most valuable resource.

How To:
How To Read Your Meter

How to Check For Leaks
A small leak, about the size of a pin head, dripping at one drop per second can add up to 7 gallons of water a day. A large leak, the kind most often found in toilets, can waste 200 gallons of water or more per day! CLICK TO LEARN MORE ABOUT LEAKS.
