Overview of Current Wise Water Use Guidelines
Now, more than ever, it is important to use water wisely. This includes a common sense approach to watering (avoiding outdoor watering at the peak of the day's heat), not wasting water on driveways, and irrigating efficiently.
- When can I do outdoor watering?
-
No outdoor watering between noon and 6 pm.
- What can I water?
-
No watering is allowed that is in a manner that, as determined at the discretion of PID, results in excessive runoff onto hard surfaces.
Vehicle washing with potable water is only permissible with the use of a bucket and a hose with a shut-off nozzle.
- What are my responsibilities?
-
Upon notification by PID, customer must repair leaks on customer side plumbing.
Customers are encouraged to sign up for DropCountr to monitor water use and receive leak alerts.
Occurrences of non-compliance, reported to, or observed by a District representative will be followed by a mailed or written warning. Only one such warning will be issued. Second and subsequent violations, observed by a District representative, will result in a personally delivered or mailed written notice of a $25.00 Quantity Surcharge to appear on the next water bill.
- How can I report water waste?
-
To report water waste please call 530-877-4971.
