Pressure regulators are designed to adjust water pressure to the appropriate level for private plumbing. In some cases, lowering pressure can save water, help prevent leaks, and extend the life of your plumbing. Being aware of how your pressure regulator works and how to maintain it is important, learn more on our website. 
Drought Conditions Persist Despite March Rainfall 

March rainstorms helped bolster the City's surface water supplies but were not enough to put the City on track for an average rainfall year. The City's small reservoir, Gibraltar, filled to capacity in March which will provide some supply to the City. However, Cachuma Reservoir is our key drought indicator and remains at 40% of capacity. The City remains in a Stage Three Drought Condition and water conservation remains critical. For more information on drought planning visit our website.
