State-wide drought conditions have persisted for years and even with the occasional above-average rainfall season, water conservation has become a necessity. Conserving water also helps alleviate low water pressure and helps reduce electrical energy usage which is beneficial for our environment. In order to assist in the preservation of water, a precious resource, the City of Chowchilla has designated specific watering days and times. Click HERE to go to the Public Works Water Service page.
You would use the very last number before the 1/2 in your address. For example, a resident with an address of 1309-1/2 may water on the days for odd numbered addresses and an address of 1308-1/2 may water on the days for even numbered addresses.
