The city of Morganton announced mandatory water restrictions Thursday, joining a growing number of communities that are adopting restrictions to conserve water during the current drought and extreme heat.

Morganton's list of restrictions includes limiting lawn watering to Tuesdays and Saturdays for odd-numbered addresses and Thursdays and Sundays for even-numbered addresses, no residential washing of vehicles and no washing of the outsides of buildings, sidewalks and streets.

The restrictions will become effective Sept. 4.
