With Utilities Board approval on March 18, 2026, we entered Water Shortage Preparation, a preliminary stage of the city’s Water Shortage Ordinance. This means that our current water restrictions—the Water Wise Rules—continue, with no more than three days per week watering and no watering allowed between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Additionally, Water Shortage Preparation encourages everyone to work together to increase our water efficiency and help stretch our storage supplies.
Our customers already do a great job of using water wisely. This year, we’re asking you to consider additional ways to reduce water use. Small actions can really add up in terms of water savings—with the additional benefit of lowering your water bill.
