Kennewick Irrigation District Implements Voluntary Watering Schedule Amid Drought Conditions

KENNEWICK, Wash. -- With worsening drought conditions in Kennewick, the Kennewick Irrigation District is asking customers to begin a voluntary watering schedule.

The City of Kennewick said a mandatory watering schedule may be inevitable but being proactive about water conservation can help either shorten the time needed for a mandator schedule or possibly remove it.

The city's watering schedule is based off the last digit of your property address.

For example, if your address is 201[5] South Ely Street you're in zone 5.

The voluntary watering schedule:

Sunday morning: 1 and 5

Sunday evening: 0 and 4

Monday morning: 3, 7, 8

Monday evening: 6 and 9

Tuesday morning: 1 and 5

Tuesday evening: 0 and 2

Wednesday morning: 3 and 7

Wednesday evening: 4, 6, 9

Thursday morning: 5 and 8

Thursday evening: 0 and 2

Friday morning: 1 and 3

Friday evening: 4 and 6

Saturday morning: 7 and 8

Saturday evening: 2 and 9

The City of Kennewick said drip irrigation systems and hose watering are encouraged and are no affected by the schedule.
