Cedar Fort staff and committee discuss adding cemetery to townwatering rotation amid state emergency
Summary
Town staff on the phone said a governor-declared watering emergency is limiting watering; the committee discussed including the cemetery in a rotation (section-by-section or paired sections) and noted existing practices (30-minute hose limit, hour for sprinklers).
Town staff member Wyatt told members by phone that the governor "released a state of emergency, to limit watering, and all of that, all stayed in it," and the committee discussed incorporating the cemetery into the town's watering rotation. Wyatt described possible approaches: rotating sections so the west section waters one day and another section the next, pairing sections, or keeping a two-day-per-week schedule for some plots.
Members also recalled prior local limits on residential watering and cemetery irrigation: a committee member summarized that hoses had a 30-minute limit and sprinklers had been run for an hour in the past. The committee agreed to check the town website and existing postings to confirm the written rule before making any formal change to the cemetery posting or schedule.
