In light of drastically improved snowpack and reservoir conditions, Governor Newsom terminated the Stage 2 Water Shortage on March 23rd, 2023. Please continue to follow the City's permanent water schedule since it is in place regardless of drought conditions. 

Help the City Save Water Year-Round

• Adhere to the Permanent Watering Schedule:
  • Odd Addresses: Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday
  • Even Addresses: Wednesday, Friday, Sunday
  • No irrigation between 10:00am and 7:00pm
  • See "Watering Schedule" page for help adjusting your irrigation controller
• Fix leaks within 7 days of discovery

More Actions to Save Water 

• Reduce your irrigation runtimes to prevent runoff
• Prevent landscape watering during rainfall
• Wash only full loads of clothes
• Use the dishwasher only after it is full
• Water fountains must have a recirculating pump, and be leak-proof

• Take a look at your current sprinkler schedule. Consider removing one or two days; and make sure the runtimes are less than 15 minutes per start, for lawns. If you want more time, use the cycle-and-soak method of adding a start time. Too much water as once creates runoff.

• Check your toilet for a leak. This may seem small, but toilet leaks can add up! Here is a helpful video on chasing down toilet leaks.

• See our "Programs and Rebates" page for incentives like a free Water Wise House Call and our Smart Irrigation Controller Rebate program.
