Temperatures in metro Atlanta climbed into the 90s for the ninth consecutive day on Monday, and Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Karen Minton said that string will likely continue throughout this week, with only a slight chance of any storms to cool things down."For the most part, water resources should remain adequate for municipal and industrial use through the summer," Stooksbury said last week. "Most water systems in Georgia have the capacity for a drought lasting less than a year." As for outdoor watering restrictions, all of the state remains under the Georgia Water Stewardship Act, which went into effect a year ago. The act allows daily outdoor watering of lawns, shrubs and trees between the hours of 4 p.m. and 10 a.m.
Outdoor water use for purposes other than the watering of plants, such as power washing or washing cars, remains restricted to an odd/even schedule, with odd-numbered addresses allowed to use water on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sunday and water use by even-numbered addresses on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.
