Polson initiates water restrictions within city limits

The city of Polson on Tuesday implemented restrictions regarding the use of outdoor watering within city limits due to current drought conditions and water demand concerns.

Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte declared a statewide drought emergency last week and asked the U.S. Department of Agriculture to declare all 56 of the state's counties as primary natural disaster areas.

More than 92% of Montana faces abnormally dry conditions.

Polson is directing residents with odd-numbered addresses to water only on odd calendar days, and for even-numbered addresses to water on even calendar days.

Excessive usage of non-consumed water is prohibited.
