BRIGHTON — Brighton is on track to continue its water-conservation program, which restricts installation of sod for lawns, fines residents and businesses for violations of the water-usage rules, and provides incentives for residents to reduce water usage.

The City Council Tuesday heard the results of the city’s water-conservation efforts over the past few years and provided direction for the writing of an ordinance to codify the program for 2023.
