Please Follow Water Use Best Practices All Year Round
CVWD encourages water use efficiency year-round by following these best practices:
- No hosing of paved surfaces such as driveways, streets, and sidewalks
- Use a shutoff nozzle on all hoses
- If decorative fountains are in use, they must have a recirculating water system
- Fix leaks and broken sprinklers immediately
- Ensure there is no sprinkler overspray or runoff
- No watering within 48 hours after it rains
- Restaurants only serve water to customers upon request
- Hotels offer guests the option of not having linens laundered daily
Saving water can be simple with the most significant water-saving opportunities on your landscaping. Customers should focus their attention on continuing to use Best Management Practices and changing outdoor watering habits, including reducing outdoor watering by a few minutes and fixing leaks or misaligned sprinklers immediately.
