Overview of current wise water use guidelines

Now, more than ever, it is important to use water wisely. This includes a common sense approach to watering (avoiding outdoor watering at the peak of the day's heat), not wasting water on driveways and irrigating efficiently. 

Water when?

No outdoor watering between noon and 6 pm.  No outdoor irrigation, sprinkling, or outdoor watering shall take place during or within 48 hours after a measurable rainfall.

Water what?

No excessive use of any outside watering, which results in runoff onto walks, driveways, streets, or any other surface not reasonable expected to benefit from the authorized use of water.  No washing driveways or hard surfaces.  No watering overspray to hardscaped areas.  Washing a vehicle is acceptable at any time of the day with the use of a shutoff nozzle.  Water fountains and decorative water features must use a water recirculation system.

Your responsibilities:

Occurrences of non-compliance, reported to, or observed by a District representative will be followed by a mailed or written warning. Only one such warning will be issued. Second and subsequent violations, observed by a District representative, will result in a mailed written notice of a $25.00 Quantity Surcharge on your next water bill.
