Pierce board votes to activate non-potable irrigation system April 15; keeps regular watering days

Town of Pierce Board of Trustees · April 13, 2026

Summary

Trustee Geffery Broughton moved to turn the town non-potable irrigation system on April 15 after discussing modest watering reductions; the board kept assigned water days and said enforcement would rely largely on an honor system.

Facing spring conditions, town staff and trustees discussed modest reductions to watering while maintaining assigned water days. Town Engineer Brad Curtis recommended cutting back usage "a little, but not to go crazy," and the board discussed enforcement options.

Trustee Geffery Broughton moved to turn the non-potable system on April 15; Trustee Chuck Dixon seconded and the motion passed unanimously. "Motion made by Trustee Broughton to turn the non-pot system on April 15th. Second by Dixon. All 'AYES', motion passed," the meeting record states. The board decided to retain the normal schedule for water days and rely primarily on resident compliance rather than active enforcement at this time.

The minutes do not record specific watering-day assignments or any penalties for noncompliance; staff and trustees said they will monitor conditions and revisit restrictions if necessary.
