Sustaining our water: conservation Information
 

Work continues on improvements to the water system, but County officials are still asking residents to use wise watering practices, including using the odd-even lawn irrigation practices.

The practices apply only to Greene County water customers in the City of Beavercreek, Beavercreek Township, and northern Sugarcreek Township.

If the water demand were to exceed the supply, the system could depressurize, leading to a boil water notice for everyone on the system.  In addition, low water levels endanger the ability of the Fire Department to fight fires.

 While new wells have been put in place and other improvements are underway, Commissioners have chosen to keep the odd-even practices in place all along.  “Although we have enhanced the overall water system with a number of projects , we felt it was prudent and the right thing to do,” said Commissioner Rick Perales. 

In addition to infrastructure improvements, the County has partnered with local landscapers, sod farms, home-builders and irrigation specialists to provide our customers with more information about conserving water while still maintaining their lawn.  Much of that information is included on this website. See below to find more information on these topics.

Greene County had to issue a total lawn irrigation ban last year for a month when concerns arose that demand for water might exceed the County’s ability to provide it.   In the intervening months, the County has completed a number of improvements as suggested in the County's Master Plan to ensure an adequate supply of water. See below for more information on the proposed improvements

Collaboration vital

The County is relying on various experts to provide information about water efficient lawn care.  This collaboration has been vital to the County's communication efforts.
