Council seeks clearer link to Brunswick County irrigation notices after schedule change
Summary
After a recent county guideline change on odd/even irrigation days, Oak Island council asked staff to ensure water bills and town channels link to Brunswick County public notices so residents see the latest allowable irrigation times and exceptions.
Council members raised confusion over recent changes to the county irrigation schedule and asked the town to make the county's public notice more prominent on local communications. Staff described the county's odd/even irrigation schedule (8:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m.) and said a recent guideline allows one day of irrigation per week for addresses depending on odd/even parity; the town intends to link the water bill notice directly to the county page so the posted schedule will always reflect the latest county guidance.
Council discussed the difficulty of communicating to short‑term renters who do not receive water bills; members asked staff to consider direct outreach to major rental companies and property owners so transient occupants are informed of restrictions. Staff agreed additional targeted outreach to rental managers would be useful alongside the water bill and media notices.
