The City of Quincy is asking residents to [00:10:00] voluntarily adhere to a watering schedule that they posted, uh, over on their website as Washington heads into its fourth year of drought.

Essentially, it's no watering between 10:00 AM and 7:00 PM. Even addresses are asked to water only on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Odd addresses are asked only to water on Sunday, Wednesday, Friday, with no watering on Mondays. Watering schedule does not apply to newly planted landscapes or vegetable gardens.

The city composting facility is on their summer hours right now, which is Tuesday through Saturday, 7:15 AM to 3:15 PM with a closure for lunch from 11:15 to 12:15, so those guys can actually eat.
