Did you know? The City of Carmel Utilities is asking homeowners to consider a “Tuesday, Saturday” sprinkling schedule to help balance water usage.

Many Carmel neighborhoods with HOAs irrigate their common areas on a “Monday, Wednesday, Friday” schedule. By watering on Tuesday and Saturday, you can help the City of Carmel meet everyone’s water needs.

Carmel Utilities is also reminding homeowners that it’s irrigation backflow testing time. Backflow devices are important to keep drinking water safe, and must be tested annually by a certified tester. This test is required by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management and the Carmel Utilities Cross Connection Control program.

Also, remember that automatic irrigation systems must be tested whether or not they are in use.

For more information or to have your questions answered, please use the following resources:

On behalf of the City of Carmel, we thank you for helping keep our city’s water resources working for everyone!
