Irrigation
The Town of Clayton purchases water from Johnston County and our residents who have irrigation systems must follow Johnston County’s lawn watering schedule in order to help make our community a more sustainable place to live. These watering requirements are consistent with irrigation schedules in most of our neighboring communities. Water efficiency must be considered from the initial irrigation system design phase through installation to ensure optimal performance.
