Water use awareness in Bellingham encouraged

BELLINGHAM, Wash. — It’s the time of year when lawn and landscape watering pushes city water use way up.

Household water use sometimes doubles during the summer months and the City of Bellingham is asking residents to water wisely.

One way to do that is by voluntarily watering on even or odd days depending on your address.

Eric Johnston with City of Bellingham Public Works says the best time to water is between 7 and 10 AM.
