From the O.C. Register:

With new pressures on traditional water supplies, San Juan Capistrano is asking its residents to conserve water like never before. A new ordinance taking effect in September will, for example, require residents to wash their cars with either an automatic-shutoff nozzle or with a rag and water bucket. Irrigation will be limited to mornings and evenings. Sidewalks and driveways can no longer be hosed off.

The point of the restrictions is to protect the daily water supply and minimize water runoff into the ocean, said Francie Kennedy, San Juan water conservation coordinator. And the restrictions are not just for dry seasons like this one.

“Conservation is going to become a part of our future, drought or no drought,” Kennedy said.
