It will be a wet summer across metro Atlanta now that the last major local government has decided to fill its swimming pools.
DeKalb County Chief Executive Officer Vernon Jones on Friday announced the county was lifting its drought-related ban on the use of water for pools beginning April 1.

The decision gives pool operators two months to prepare for the traditional opening on Memorial Day.
DeKalb also will allow outdoor watering of shrubs and plants, but not lawns. The watering may be done with a hand-held hose for 25 minutes between midnight and 10 a.m. three days a week.
Even-numbered addresses can water on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Odd numbered addresses can water on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.
