New Ordinance Reinforces Need to Conserve Water With Ongoing Drought Conditions
The new ordinance reinforces the need to continue to conserve water with the current drought conditions. The City will continue to encourage the replacement of turf with drought tolerant vegetation; improve the water system to limit failures; increase the use of recycled water, and enforce water restrictions.
