Although summer did not officially start until Wednesday, the hot, dry weather has taken its toll on Algonquin’s water supply.

Village officials announced Wednesday that outside water use is restricted to an odd-and-even-date schedule until further notice.

Residents and businesses with addresses ending in an even number may sprinkle their lawns or wash cars only on even-numbered dates. Those with addresses ending in an odd number are limited to outside water use on odd-numbered dates.
