To manage your system within the Stage 3 water restrictions, please keep all irrigation controllers in the "off" position. Use them in the manual mode, only if really needed, on your designated day. If you are unsure how your irrigation controller operates, please consult with a licensed irrigation specialist to help ensure no accidental runs of your sprinkler system. Fines for running water on the wrong day can be up to $2,000. Please conserve all possible water during this time to prolong our water supply!
