Conejo park district gets water law exemption

From the Ventura County Star:

The Conejo Recreation and Park District says it cannot comply with tough, new water conservation regulations in Thousand Oaks, and it has been excused from following the rules in some locations, officials say. The district concedes that it violated the mandatory water conservation measures for weeks while waiting to find out if the city Department of Public Works would formally exempt it under the ordinance that took effect June 5.

On Friday, the city told the district it will be issued a waiver, after a reporter made inquiries to city and district officials.

“We sent a letter to public works a couple of weeks ago saying we can’t conform,” said Tom Hare, the parks and planning administrator for the district. He said the ordinance doesn’t take into account “extraordinary situations” that occur in the care and maintenance of parks and sports fields.
