During periods of extreme heat, outdoor irrigation demand increases sharply, placing added strain on our water infrastructure. 

The Westbury Water District reminds all residents to follow Nassau County ordinances and irrigation guidelines to avoid unnecessary watering during these peak demand periods.

For reference:

• Nassau County prohibits the irrigation of all residential and commercial properties between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. 
• Even house numbers may water on even dates.
• Odd house numbers may water on odd dates.
• If you don’t have a house number, you water on an even date.
• Watering is not permitted on the 31st of any month.

✔️ Water only on permitted days
✔️ Avoid watering during restricted hours
✔️ Skip watering if rain is in the forecast
✔️ Use smart irrigation controllers to reduce waste

Extreme heat can also pose a serious threat to health and safety. Nassau County’s Temporary Cooling Space is available for anyone who needs to cool off on days of extreme temperatures. When the heat index rises to 95 degrees or above, the following location is open to all local residents:
