California Regulations

The California Water Board publishes regulations on the Water Conservation Portal. Two emergency water regulations have been authorized in 2022. Based on the two current regulations, the following restrictions apply:

• Commercial, industrial, and institutional decorative grass should not be watered

• Give all trees just what they need: avoid overwatering

• Follow Level 2 demand requirements from San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA)

• Turn off decorative water fountains

• Turn off/pause your irrigation system when it's raining and for two days after rain

• Use an automatic shutoff nozzle on your water hose

• Use a broom, not water, to clean sidewalks and driveways
