Mandatory water restrictions in the works for Glendale; Council is expected to vote for plan that would limit how often lawns may be watered

From the Glendale News Press:

Outdoor watering will likely be limited to three days a week under a revised mandatory water conservation proposal that gained traction Tuesday with the City Council.

Mandatory 10% conservation, which still must be approved by the council next week, is recommended by the utility to help it stay within a reduced allotment from the Metropolitan Water District of California, which supplies up to 70% of Glendale’s water.

In response to the growing statewide water crisis, Metropolitan is reducing shipments by 10% on July 1 to all of its member agencies. The utility will levy heavy penalties on agencies that exceed their allotment.

“We now need to start treating water like the valuable resource it is,” said Councilwoman Laura Friedman.
