Helena implements watering restrictions as consumption remains high Jonathon Ambarian and last updated 2021-07-01 21:01:35-04 HELENA â The city of Helena is implementing immediate water restrictions, after leaders say theyâve continued to see concerning levels of water consumption. âWhile we do have storage, we do not have sufficient amounts to continue at this rate of consumption, so we have to move to the next level,â said city manager Rachel Harlow-Schalk. Under the Stage III restrictions, homes and businesses that use city water are required to water lawns only on alternate days â odd days of the month for street addresses that end in odd numbers and even days of the month for those ending in even numbers.
