Full Notification

In response to the severe drought, the State of California adopted an emergency regulation requiring local agencies to restrict water use. The City of Arcadia already has a Water Conservation Plan in place. On August 5, 2014, the City Council will consider the implementation of Phase I Mandatory Prohibitions included in the Plan, which meet the requirements of the State. These prohibitions are unique to Arcadia and will complement the current voluntary conservation methods residents are already practicing. Phase I includes the following prohibitions:

• No hose washing of sidewalks, walkways, driveways, or parking areas

• No water shall be used to clean, fill, or maintain levels in decorative fountains, unless such water is part of a recycling system

• No lawn, landscape, or turf areas shall be watered or irrigated between the hours of 10:00AM and 4:00PM

• No lawn, landscape, or turf areas shall be watered in a wasteful manner

• No Arcadia water customer shall permit water to leak from any facilities on his premises

• No restaurant, hotel, café, cafeteria, or other public place where food is served or offered for sale shall serve drinking water to any customer unless expressly requested by the customer Until the prohibitions take effect, we ask that residents continue using water efficiently.
