Important announcement about the use of Water Lines

Water lines will be open: Monday thru Friday 8 am to 5 pm, Saturdays 8 am to 12 noon, closed on Sundays.

Due to the abuse of the water use, the cemetery was being fined by the water company on a monthly basis. This has been on-going for several years. We try our best to keep the water lines available to the cemetery guests; however, since some people refuse to respect the water usage, we made the decision to make changes to the times the water will be open. We still provide the water use at no charge to the guests but have scheduled watering hours as follows: Weekdays 8 am to 5 pm and Saturday 8 am to 12 noon.

We are trying these new restricted watering schedules but if the abuse continues, then we will look into perhaps just having the morning hours available. We hope that this is not the case so that the water can be available to cemetery guests during the above mentioned hours.

We know these changes may have caused some concern and we apologize, but Val Verde had to take measures to reduce the abuse of water use.
