Drought rules set to debut in San Diego County; Watering to be restricted, penalties to be assessed

Posted by: Maven on June 7, 2009 at 7:27 am

From the North County Times:

This summer, area residents will have to live with the most severe water-use restrictions in nearly two decades. In most cases, providers have backpedaled on threats to sock it to customers with sharply higher water rates if they fail to curb usage. However, all but a few agencies are going to some form of mandatory conservation.

In many communities, people will face restrictions on when and how long they can water, and prohibitions against hosing down driveways and filling ornamental fountains. And in Temecula, it will be illegal to hold a charity car wash.

Those who violate the new rules, most of which take effect July 1, could be fined hundreds of dollars. Rules will vary from community to community.
