Manditory Water Restrictions in California

Manditory Water Restrictions in California

In January 2014, California Governor Jerry Brown declared the state in a drought impossed an voluntary request for all public and residents to cut their water usuage by 20%. A recent survey found this reduction was only 5% so yesterday the state imposed 'Mandatory Water Restrictions' for the entire state. 

•  Washing hard surfaces like driveways, parking lots and building exteriors is prohibited at all times.

• Golf courses, parks and schools can water only between sunset and sunrise.

• Lawn watering and landscape irrigation prohibited between 10 am-5 pm.

• Running water for car washes is prohibited. Rinsing w/ Buckets/Nozzles.

• Restaurants can only provide water upon request.

• Commercial nurseries can only water between midnight and 6 a.m.

• Water Fountains must recycle the water or be turned off.

There will be fine of $500 per day for anyone violating these restrictions. All owners and residents are urged to go along with the cutbacks. The cities have been ordered to write citations and enforce these restrictions.

In the future, restrictions could include only watering every other day, restricted flushing and limited water for baths or showers. Residents are told to think of alternative landscaping and sprinkler systems.
