'We are asking San Diegans to take these steps now, so we can help avoid a more dire situation in the near future,' said Juan Guerreiro, director of the city's Public Utilities Department.
New restrictions on water use are now in effect in the City of San Diego. The restrictions began today, and follow an order from the State Water Resources Control Board. KPBS reporter John Carroll details the new rules and what can happen if people don’t follow them.
At Newsom's direction, the State Water Resources Control Board adopted an emergency water conservation regulation calling on local water agencies to take appropriate action that will conserve water throughout California. Areas with no irrigation system must use a hand-held hose with a shutoff nozzle, hand-held container or a garden hose sprinkler system on a timer;Landscape irrigation is limited to no more than three days per week before 10 a.m. or after 6 p.m. This does not apply to commercial growers or nurseries, nor to the irrigation of golf course greens and trees.Washing of vehicles at residences is prohibited. Washing is still permitted at commercial car washes.
These new water restrictions also apply to city facilities and properties. According to city staff, the city has reduced its water use at municipal facilities by changing landscape to hardscapes and drought-resistant plantings, and incorporating water-saving devices in new and renovated buildings, like libraries and fire stations.
