Working in a collaborate effort, lawn sprinkler companies are going to set the control boxes according to the last digit of their address.
- Homes with odd addresses will water on Wednesday and Saturday.
- Homes with even addresses will water on Thursday and and Sunday.
- Commercial properties will water on Tuesday and Friday.
- No watering on Monday to allow the water tanks to replenish.

The Third of Three Rate Increases Becomes Effective October 1, 2008
September 29, 2008
Ashburn - On October 1, 2008, the 3rd rate increase of a planned three-year increase takes effect for Loudoun Water’s central system customers. Water rates will increase by 6 cents per thousand gallons while sewer rates will increase by 9 cents. The peak use charge will increase by 9 cents as well. Basic charges will remain unchanged. The main driver for the rate increase is the cost of operating Loudoun Water’s new Broad Run Water Reclamation Facility, a state-of-the-art treatment plant that reclaims wastewater to the limit of technology, for the protection of the Potomac River and the Chesapeake Bay. This facility began reclaiming water in June of this year.
The rate increase was originally voted on by Loudoun Water’s Board of Directors in July of 2006, when the first increase took place. That was the first time in 15 years that Loudoun Water raised water and sewer rates.
Customers who use an average amount of water each quarter (approximately 233 gallons per day per home) will see about a $3 increase in their quarterly bill for winter use and about a $5 increase for summer quarter bills. Shaving 8 gallons from daily water use each day could offset the difference.
Only Loudoun Water’s central system customers are affected by the new rates. This includes those customers who live in the suburban eastern portion of the county, generally east of Belmont Ridge Road (Route 659), with minor exceptions. It excludes Loudoun Water’s Community Systems customers who live in hamlets or villages served by community wells.

Lawn Irrigation
With the paltry 0.03" of rain and snow showers which fell at National Airport this morning, February's total to date is a mere 0.26". Since only a 50% chance of showers is forecast on Friday, there's a good shot at breaking the record for driest February since records began in 1871. If no further precipitation falls this month, the new record will also be drier than that of any other calendar month except March, April, September, October, and December. The last time so little precipitation fell in Washington was when a new record of 0.05" was set in March, 2006.
