Del-Co asks customers to suspend outdoor watering until Tuesday amid 'excessive demand'

Del-Co Water Co. is asking customers to suspend all outdoor watering until Tuesday, citing "excessive water demand" due to high temperatures and no rain.

The water utility, which covers parts of Delaware, Franklin, Knox, Marion and Morrow counties, announced the changes Saturday afternoon on its website and on Facebook.

Starting Tuesday, the utility is asking customers to limit their outdoor watering to every other day until further notice.
