Recent rainfall has allowed the Village of Cumberland to ease water restrictions to Stage 1.

The change took effect Oct. 29, allowing residents to water their lawns with sprinklers twice a week, depending on their address.

Homes with even-numbered addresses can water on Wednesdays and Saturdays, while odd-numbered addresses are permitted to water on Thursdays and Sundays.

Watering is allowed from 4 to 10 a.m. and 7 to 10 p.m.

Residents can also water gardens, trees and shrubs at any time using a hand-held container, a hose with a shut-off nozzle or a drip-irrigation system.
