ATLANTA - Governor Perdue announced that due to significant rainfall and improved water supplies the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) has issued a non-drought schedule for outdoor water use for the first time since June 2006.
"Georgians have seen the most severe drought on record, and have proven their ability to conserve and manage our state's most precious resource," said Governor Perdue "We have become more educated about water conservation, and have taken significant steps towards ensuring a long term solution. I believe Georgians will continue to use our water resources wisely under this new outdoor watering schedule."
