Leland, NC - Brunswick Regional Water & Sewer H2GO 

Irrigation: As you plan your irrigation schedule, Please keep in mind that NIDS has Brunswick County in D1- Moderate Drought status.

Is there an irrigation schedule?

The mandatory outdoor irrigation schedule applies to all spray irrigation systems and allows customers to irrigate according to the following schedule:

• Odd-numbered addresses may be watered once on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
• Even-numbered addresses may water once on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
• No customers are permitted to water on Mondays.

What does my irrigation system have to have to be installed?

All new permanent in-ground irrigation systems must have:

• A programmable controller for adjustment of irrigation frequency and intensity.
• Rain sensors to automatically shut off the irrigation system when up to one-fourth inch of rain has fallen.

Do these restrictions apply to drip irrigation, hand-watering, car washing or pressure washing?

The irrigation schedule does not apply to the use of hand-watering, drip irrigation, washing of cars, houses, buildings, decks, etc.

What if I irrigate my yard with a private well?

If you are using a private well to irrigate your lawn, garden, or landscape, then the Odd-Even Watering Policy does not apply; scheduled watering only affects H2GO water users.  In the event you receive a notice for non-compliance, please call H2GO at (910) 371-9949 to provide evidence of an alternate water source providing the property’s irrigation needs.

How do you define hand-watering?

Hand-watering refers to the application of water for irrigation through a hand-held hose or watering container. A person must be physically holding the hose or container. Watering by hand cannot occur unattended.
