Watering Schedule

To help preserve Long Island’s only source of drinking water—our underground aquifer—SCWA uses an odd/even schedule to reduce peak demand, especially during hot summer mornings when usage is highest.

Today's Watering Schedule

...

Today is for addresses ending in ... numbers.

 

The Odd/Even System

Homes with Odd Addresses (ending in 1, 3, 5, 7, 9) water on odd calendar days. Homes with Even Addresses (ending in 0, 2, 4, 6, 8) water on even calendar days. This simple rotation ensures our aquifer remains sustainable and everyone has consistent water pressure.

🚫 No-Watering Window: 10AM – 4PM Daily

Regardless of your address, automatic irrigation is restricted during midday hours when evaporation is highest.
