Outdoor Irrigation Restriction to Three Days a Week

is now in effect in response to the statewide drought.

Post Date: 08/15/2014 11:50 AM

Properties with even-numbered addresses may irrigate Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Properties with odd-numbered addresses may irrigate Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The restriction applies to potable and recycled water users. Watering is permitted at any time using a hose with an automatic shut-off nozzle, a 5-gallon bucket or a drip irrigation system. The Board of Directors of Las Virgenes Municipal Water District approved this restriction at their meeting on August 12, 2014. Customers will be given time to make adjustments to their irrigation controllers. Customers are advised to speak with their landscape contractor about this restriction. Enforcement begins September 1^st.

Violation of the outdoor irrigation restriction and conservation measures below are subject to fines. Customers shall be notified in writing for the 1^st violation. Subsequent violations within a twelve-month period are subject to a $100 fine for the 2^nd time, $200 for the 3^rd time, and $500 for the 4^th time. For the 5^th time, flow restrictors may be installed or service may be terminated.

The following conservation measures are in effect: 

1. Potable water shall not be used to clean or sweep hard surfaces such as sidewalks, walkways, driveways or parking areas and only as necessary to protect public health and safety.
2. Hotels, motels and other places for commercial transient occupancy shall offer guests who stay more than one night the opportunity to retain towels and linens during their stay.
3. Car washing is permitted only with the use of a nozzle having an automatic shut-off.
4. Fountains and other decorative water features shall recirculate water.
5. Irrigation shall occur after 5:00 p.m. and before 10:00 a.m.  No irrigation is permitted during rainfall and for 24 hours after rainfall in excess of 1 inch.
6. Irrigation shall not run off to streets, gutters or adjacent properties.  

Recycled water customers may be on a different irrigation schedule upon demonstration, through a site visit, that they are using water efficiently and achieving the water use reduction. These customers may contact the District at (818) 251-2200 to request a site visit. 

Please share this with your neighbors, they may not be signed up for e-Notification.  Thank you.
