(Deming) -- The city of Deming  water restrictions are now in place.
If you live at an address that  ends in an even number, you are cleared to water your lawn and garden on  Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Odd-numbered addresses may water on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
All addresses may water on Sundays.
However, no watering may take  place during the heat of the day because of evaporation. The restrictions state  that residents are prohibited from watering any day between the hours of 10 a-m  and 6 p-m.
In addition... the washing of  vehicles may occur only when a shut-off device or nozzle is used on the end of a  hose, so water is not constantly running.
And any "ponding" or collection  of water in the street or adjacent property can result in the issuance of a  citation.
City officials have said that  offenders will receive a citation and be ordered to appear before Municipal  Judge Frank VanGundy. Minimum fines will be 65-dollars; second offenders can  expect much higher fines.
