LANDSCAPE WATERING REDUCED TO TWO DAYS PER WEEK EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY
Azusa Light & Water (ALW) urges all customers to reduce water use to avoid future severe restrictions.
Drought conditions are getting dire. According to the US drought monitor, 97% of the State is experiencing severe drought and water supplies statewide and locally remain below normal levels.
At the special meeting of the Utility Board on May 31, ALW recommended reducing outdoor watering schedule to two days per week effective immediately until further notice and continue to implement other water use restrictions. These restrictions have been in place since 2017, which helped ALW customers meet the 20% water use reduction required by the State.
What does it mean to ALW customers?
1) Customer must reduce landscape watering to two days per week.
Residential:
Even Addresses: Thursday, Sunday
Odd Addresses: Wednesday, Saturday
Commercial/HOA: Monday, Friday
Watering by a handheld hose with a positive shutoff nozzle, a bucket or watering can, or drip irrigation, may be done on any day.
2) Continue to follow Mandatory Water Restrictions includi (see Water Rule 21 for complete list).
- No lawn watering and landscape irrigation between 9 AM to 6 PM.
- No excess water runoff
- No washing down of hardscapes, except to alleviate immediate health, fire, or sanitation hazards
