We don't need a weather report to tell us it's been hot this summer. And, it's also been dry. So dry, in fact, that here in Paulding County we are experiencing severe/extreme drought conditions, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.
Georgia's permanent year-round outdoor watering restrictions allow outdoor watering during the hours between 4 p.m. and 10 a.m. to avoid the hottest part of the day when more evaporation occurs, with certain limited exceptions as set forth in the 2010 Georgia Water Stewardship Act.
