Mandatory Watering Restrictions
The summer season is upon us and we are seeing water demand increase substantially. Effective May 1, 2021, MANDATORY two days a week watering restrictions went into effect. These restrictions help our operations staff ensure that we keep up with the high demand of the summer months. Watering will only be permitted from 12:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. to midnight according to the following schedule:
Residential Customers
- Monday and Thursday: Addresses ending in 0, 1, 2, 3
- Tuesday and Friday: Addresses ending in 4, 5, 6
- Wednesday and Saturday: Addresses ending in 7, 8, 9
- No outdoor watering allowed on Sundays.
Commercial Customers (Including HOA Common Areas)
- Tuesday and Friday
PUA staff will be regularly monitoring water usage for compliance with the above policy. We sincerely appreciate your assistance in managing our water resources.
High summer water bills are generally associated with irrigation use. Some tips are offered below to assist in managing water use during the warm weather season:
- Have your irrigation system checked by a professional including valves, sprinkler heads, and controller programming to ensure the system is watering in accordance with your desired time frames and PUA restrictions. Also, it is recommended that controller programming be reviewed after power outages since these systems may reset to factory default schedules.
- Make sure that toilets are not running or that any other leaks are not present. Leaks are evident on the premises if all water is shut off and the meter continues to spin.
- Make sure no unauthorized water use is occurring on your property.
- Manually read your meter daily and revise water usage as appropriate.
