The Town of Eagle has eased its water restrictions from Stage 3 to Stage 1. That does not mean residents can turn their lawn sprinklers back on this winter. The town’s year-round rules prohibit outdoor irrigation of lawns and landscapes from October 15 through April 15.
The town announced the change on November 1, thanking customers for conserving water during the stricter period. Its current restrictions page identifies Stage 1 as the rules that apply every year, regardless of drought conditions.
What does Stage 1 mean right now?
For a Town of Eagle water customer in November, the main outdoor rule is simple: do not irrigate your lawn or landscape before April 15. The town’s seasonal prohibition began October 15. Stage 3’s additional restrictions have been lifted, but the standing Stage 1 rules remain in force.
The town’s Stage 1 page also lists warm-season watering hours and an odd/even address schedule. Those rules matter when the irrigation season resumes; they do not override the current winter prohibition. Before restarting outdoor watering in spring, check the live town restrictions page for any changes.
Who should check these rules?
The rules apply to customers served by the Town of Eagle’s water utility. The town says it supplies water within town limits and to some nearby residential developments in unincorporated Eagle County. A home with an Eagle mailing address may use a different provider, so confirm your water utility before applying town-specific rules. The town’s utilities page describes its service area.
The town also recommends using its water portal to watch consumption and set leak alerts. The announcement links to the portal and the current restrictions.
