Drought Regulations in Effect

As the state of California is in its third year of an ongoing drought, all of us are required to Be Water Smart and reduce water use. ​

To encourage the efficient use of water, the Anaheim City Council has authorized moving to Level II of the city’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan.​

Level II Water Shortage Contingency Plan​

• Outdoor irrigation limits (see below)
• Hoses must have shut-off valves​
• No watering sidewalks / driveways​
• No fountains unless recirculated water​
• No water served at restaurants unless requested​
• No linens laundered unless requested

Outdoor Irrigation Limits

Following an Executive Order issued by the Governor, the State Water Resources Control Board has called for a ban of outdoor irrigation for decorative turf at businesses and allow for only recreational grass--such as turf areas designated at sports fields or regularly used for civic or community events--to be irrigated. 

Continued irrigation of non-functional turf areas is only allowed to ensure the health of trees or other non-turf plantings, and should be limited to three days a week. 

Now is the time to demonstrate that your business is sustainability-minded to your customers. Check-in with your landscape contractor to come up with a plan to replace your turf with drought-tolerant landscaping.

If you have any questions about regulations or would like some guidance on rebates and programs to help, check out our website or give us a call at 714-765-4218.

Thinking About Fleet Electrification?

Did you know that transportation currently accounts for more than 50 percent of California’s greenhouse gas emissions, and by 2035, new cars sold will be zero emission?  

Anaheim Public Utilities can help with a free service to help businesses transition to electric vehicles – both for your fleet and for charging for your customers and employees. 

Start with an evaluation of your facility needs and guidance on EV charging rebates that can help you save on infrastructure upgrades. ​

Customer Spotlight

Congratulations to the Anaheim Hills Festival shopping center, the WaterSmart Landscape Award recipient for 2022!

At Anaheim Hills Festival, sustainability is a key consideration in evaluating new landscaping projects. So when they recently renovated the main entrances to the center, they selected a drought-tolerant design, replacing groundcover with California Gold gravel beds, and making greater use of large boulders and low-water-use plants to reduce their utility bill.

If you'd like to see their landscaping up close, the center is located at 8020 E. Santa Ana Canyon Rd. To get started on your property's renovations, check out our website for info on landscaping incentives.

Anaheim Hills Festival representatives, Christine and Brooke (center), were recognized by the Public Utilities Board for their 2022 WaterSmart Landscape Award
