OUTSIDE USE OF WATER IS RESTRICTED

The City Commission of the City of Toccoa imposed certain restrictions on the outdoor use of water throughout the City Water System. This also includes the unincorporated portions of Stephens County. These restrictions were imposed as a result of a mandatory, statewide water ban imposed by the Environmental Protection Division of Natural Resources.

Even Numbered Addresses (as well as those residences without numbers) are allowed outdoor water usage ONLY on Saturday, Monday and Wednesday, 12 midnight to 10 a.m.

There are no clock or calendar restrictions on the filling of swimming pools. No addresses are allowed outdoor water use on Friday or between 10 a.m. and 12 midnight. Outdoor water use is allowed only during morning hours on the assigned day.

These restrictions will remain in effect until further Notice to the Public is given.

First instance of violations will be given a written warning; the second instance will be givens a fifteen ($15) dollar ticket, payable to the Clerk of the Municipal Court; and the third and subsequent instances of violatio will result in the water service being discontinued until a fine of $200.00 is paid to the City of Toccoa.
