What happened
Metro Water Services is currently managing overwhelming demand on its system due to drought conditions and record-high temperatures in Nashville. The service is asking residents with automatic irrigation systems to stagger their schedules to conserve water. These requests include watering between midnight and 4 a.m., using staggered days based on address number, and limiting usage to two to three hours per session.
