Forsyth County Commissioners adopted a set of resolutions that provided additional clarifications, as well as additional restrictions to the statewide level 4 watering ban already in place.

Specifically addressed in these new resolutions were

Over seeding of Lawns - The over seeding of Fescue lawns or similar types is considered new landscape for filling in of bare spots. Over seeding of warm weather grasses such as Bermuda, Centipede, and Zoysia with annual grasses for aesthetic purposes is not considered new landscape and therefore is not entitled to the State granted exemptions.

Watering of annual grasses and plants - Watering of any new plant or flower that is not a perennial is not entitled to the 30 day exemption. The 30 day exemption is only for establishment of permanent type plants, shrubs and grasses, not plants for decoration and color that will die at the end of the season.

Watering in Pesticides and Herbicides - Watering in of pesticides and herbicides is allowed any time when performed by a professional contractor. Watering in pesticides is not a 30 day process and does not receive a 30 day exemption; it is only allowed by the professional on the day it was applied. Self application must follow time and day restrictions.
