The Need for Conservation Continues…

Currently the District is in a Level 1, “Water Watch” condition, which means there are no active statewide or regional water use restrictions in place, but practicing water use efficiency is always important and encouraged. There are, however, State Mandated Water Waste Prohibitions always in place which can be met by:

• Preventing landscape irrigation run-off onto adjacent properties, non-irrigated areas, walkways, roadways, parking lots, or structures;
• Washing vehicles, RV's, trailers and equipment only using a hose with an automatic shut-off nozzle;
• Not cleaning driveways, sidewalks or any hard surfaces with water;
• Operating only recirculating fountains and decorative water features;
• Not watering during the first 48 hours after measurable rainfall; and
• Monitoring for and repairing leaks as soon as possible.

As well as these voluntary conservation practices:

• Take Shorter Showers;
• Wash Full Loads of Laundry and Dishes;
• Irrigate landscape before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m., for a suggested three times per week, 10-minutes per station; and
• Repair water leaks within 5 days of discovery or notification.

New Landscaping: If you are considering new landscape designs and plant materials which are drought-tolerant to reduce water use and prepare you for the future should mandatory water restrictions ever return. Please visit: www.watersmartsdlandscaping.org for design and plant selection ideas.
