Water Use Restrictions

Avoid irrigating when it is windy.

When irrigating, don’t allow the water to run-off onto walkways, roadways, and non-irrigated areas.

Irrigate by hand any day of the week and any time of the day.

Avoid Water Waste

Find leaks and fix them. If the District has notified you of consistent or constant consumption, make sure you make repairs within 24 hours.
When washing your vehicles and other hard surfaces, use a positive shut-off nozzle on your garden hose.
Avoid pooling of water from super saturation of soils when irrigating or using water for cleaning.
When using water, avoid letting it flow off of your property and onto the sidewalk and street.
Fountains and ponds connected to the potable water system must recirculate the water.
Sweep patios, sidewalks, and driveways instead of washing them down with water.
Use a cover on your pools and hot tubs to avoid evaporation.

If you wish to report the wasteful use of water please call our water waste hotline and leave a message.

If you notice a water leak in the street, at a fire hydrant or at a meter box, please call the District’s main phone number at (650) 726-4405.
