From the Pine River Times:
The Town of Bayfield is imposing restrictions on the use of municipal water for landscaping. Watering with municipal water will not be allowed between the hours of 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. daily. Additionally, residents and businesses will be restricted from watering certain days. Odd numbered addresses will be allowed to water on odd numbered calendar days and even numbered addresses will be allowed to water on even numbered calendar days. The restrictions are imposed due the unusually dry and hot summer. The Pine River has gone “on call,” which means many of the Town’s water rights will not be available for water treatment. The town purchases storage water from the Pine River Irrigation District to ensure there is adequate water during dry spells. However, the town needs to protect against excessive use, which could require the town to purchase more water, which in turn can affect water rates.
