Governor Schwarzenegger has declared a drought across the State of California. If we don’t conserve water now the state could be in a serious situation three years from now.
A new Water Conservation Ordinance No. 2449 was adopted by the Mayor and City Council on May 27, 2009. The Ordinance places restrictions on residents by reducing landscape watering hours and duration, regulating the washing of vehicles and hard surfaces, and mandating the obligation to fix leaks, breaks, and malfunctions in a timely manner. The City's goal is to conserve water during times of drought and to help residents lower water bills.
Wash full loads of laundry Replace older washing machines with a high efficiency one Turn off water while brushing your teeth Turn off water when washing dishes by hand Clean the driveway with a broom instead of a hose Water the yard late at night or early morning Fix a leaky toilet (or replace with a high efficiency toilet) Use a low-flow showerhead Capture running tap water for house plants or your garden Reduce outdoor watering
Rebates for purchasing water conserving appliances and irrigation devices are subject to change due to funding availability.
