Santa Nella relaxes water restrictions but conservation program still in place

From the Westside Connect:

Residents and businesses will have more leeway in their water use for the remainder of the summer, after the Santa Nella County Water District recently relaxed its water conservation program.

The changes eliminate the designated watering days enacted earlier this year as part of the 2009 water conservation program. Customers may water any day of the week, District General Manager Amy Montgomery said, and are now allowed to wash down their driveways as well – as long as they are using a water-saving shutoff nozzle. Outdoor watering is still prohibited during the heat of the day, Montgomery noted. Residents are asked not to water between the hours of 11 a.m. and 7 p.m.

Montgomery said the district opted to relax the watering restrictions after learning from the San Luis Water District that it would receive a larger allocation than initially anticipated. The Santa Nella district was also able to reschedule all its unused water allocation from the previous year, she noted. “Based on those allocations, it looked like we would be okay through the year,” said Montgomery.
