WATER CONSERVATION ORDINANCE UPDATE (effective December 9, 2009) Residents and Businesses may water and wash vehicles on either Saturday or Sunday at their discretion during winter months (after daylight savings time ends). During dry months (beginning when daylight savings time begins), residents and businesses are restricted to watering before 10 a.m. and after 7 p.m. Residents or Businesses that utilize drip irrigation are exempt from watering restrictions during winter and dry month watering schedules. Residents and Businesses may only utilize the "Water Conservation Education Workshop" to waive a fine every 24 months. Owners of properties will be responsible for violations, whether or not they or their tenant commited a violation. The Water Conservation Team has put together a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) (pdf) regarding the water conservation ordinance. Any additional questions can be answered by calling 311. Take ActionCalifornia is facing severe water challenges, including the effects of a third dry year in a row. Our water use impacts the environment around us, including the health of the Sacramento and American rivers. The good news is that we can make a big impact in the amount of water we use every day just by making simple changes to the way we use water at home. Check out these Tips for Saving Water (pdf) to learn more. You can also consider replacing high water using appliances, such as toilets and washing machines to help limit your water use. The City of Sacramento offers rebates that help to defray the costs of these new appliances!
