WATER-USE REGULATIONS REMINDER

Please keep in mind that all DWP customers are still under Water Shortage Emergency Stage I water use restrictions, with the exception of Lake William, which is under Water Shortage Emergency Stage II water use restrictions.

No watering between 9:00 am and 6:00 pm. In the middle of the day, as much as 50% of the water you apply to your lawn or garden can be lost to evaporation due to elevated air, ground, and vegetation temperatures.

Odd/even scheduling. Odd addresses may irrigate on odd calendar days, even addresses on even calendar days.

New turf installations plus existing turf, may not exceed 500 square feet in size, and must be approved by the DWP prior to installation.

Why not take control of the situation and ensure a water efficient community by committing to water-wise landscaping? Conserve water year after year with the many attractive landscape options that require little or no irrigation. These range from decks, walkways, and rock gardens to a variety of trees, shrubs, and perennial flowering xeriscape plants.

Want to see how other members of the community have committed to water-wise landscaping? Join the fun and exchange low water-use gardening ideas at the sixth annual Xeriscape Tour. Registration is from 9:00 am to noon, Saturday July 12^th, 2008 at Eminger's Nursery.
