City manager urges voluntary irrigation schedule, previews Brentfest and warns fireworks are prohibited in Brentwood

City Manager Jason Gage used the June 23 Brentwood City Commission meeting to urge residents to take part in a voluntary address-based irrigation schedule aimed at reducing peak water demand. Under the voluntary guideline, odd-numbered street addresses would irrigate Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays; even-numbered addresses would irrigate Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Gage said spreading irrigation reduces spikes in system demand and could help avoid emergency water restrictions and the need to purchase additional water during peak usage.

Gage also said the city's refreshed website would go live Wednesday with backend upgrades and some improved functionality. He previewed Brentfest at Crockett Park (part of the summer concert series), noting inflatables for children, a beer garden and an 1980s tribute band, Rubik Groove, performing Saturday evening. He reminded residents that possession of consumer-grade fireworks, including sparklers, is prohibited within Brentwood city limits; fire and rescue personnel will patrol the city from July 2–5 and may confiscate fireworks and issue fines. The city's professional fireworks show will be at Crockett Park on July 4 at 9 p.m.

Gage asked residents to enjoy a safe Independence Day and to follow the city's fireworks prohibition and event guidance.
