Message from the Chief - Watering Restrictions
Over the last 60 days, the Police Department has issued more than 30 Written Warnings for violations of the City’s Drought Management Ordinance which include watering on wrong day and watering during prohibited hours. We have been in our current Stage 2 restrictions for many months now and residents have had ample time to make adjustments to their sprinkler systems and change their habits. The Police Department will no longer issue written warnings and will begin issuing actual Court Citations immediately for violations of the Stage 2 restrictions regarding watering.
Please make sure you adjust your sprinkler systems to conform to the current ordinance restrictions to prevent this from happening. You may find the current ordinance on our City web page at the following link:
