Holly Springs enacted Stage 1 water shortage restrictions on Monday, July 6<\/b>, asking water customers to limit when they irrigate their lawns<\/a> \u2014 the latest Triangle town asking residents to conserve water.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe town is encouraging residents to talk with their neighbors to make sure they know about the water restrictions and to consider sharing information about water restrictions through their HOAs, neighborhood listservs and other channels,\u201d said Rachel Ingham, deputy director of utilities and infrastructure.<\/p>\n

There are voluntary water restrictions in Cary, Apex and Morrisville<\/b>, which get their water from Jordan Lake. Town leaders urge residents to keep conserving waters, especially while irrigating lawns.<\/p>\n

Small actions taken by thousands across the community can have a meaningful impact on extending our available water supply during this period of drought.\u201d<\/p>\n

Water restrictions are usually triggered when a water source, like a lake, reaches a certain level, which raises concern about the need to conserve water.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, July 7, the Raleigh leaders gave city staff the ability to enact stricter water restrictions since water usage is up without reaching that lower water level.<\/p>\n
