There is no safe way to use fireworks

This 4th of July, please do your part to prevent fires and injuries caused by illegal fireworks and enjoy a professional display instead of putting your family and friends at risk!

If you see a neighbor lighting fireworks:

• Call 9-1-1 if the activity is in-progress
• Call the 24/7 non-emergency line at 805-650-8010 if there is no immediate threat.
• Be prepared to provide a location of the activity and/or a description of those involved.

Emergency drought updates as of May 2022

On May 24, the State Water Resources Control Board adopted Emergency Drought Regulations requiring urban water suppliers to implement demand reduction measures identified under Stage 2 of the supplier’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan.
