Published on: 8/10/2012

Rain is beginning to make more frequent appearances around southeastern Wisconsin these days.

As a result, the burn bans and sprinkling bans for the Town of Waukesha have now been lifted.

The residential sprinkling ban was lifted Thursday and the burning ban was lifted Aug. 3.

The sprinkling ban for all residential properties began July 17 after a resolution was adopted by the Town Board. 

It applied to watering lawns and washing cars, but did not apply to hand watering of flowers, gardens, trees or shrubs.
