Water is always a precious resource in Morgan Hill and with this in mind, our permanent watering restrictions have been designed to best manage the City's potable water supply. These restrictions will help us avoid or minimize the effects of drought, climate change and the unreliability of the imported water infrastructure that serves the City of Morgan Hill.

  • Irrigation is allowed before 9 AM or after 7 PM
  • Watering is limited to no more than 15 minutes per station 
  • Watering returns to the three day a week schedule on April 1, 2018
Complete rules and restrictions can be found in   Water Waste Ordinance No. 2236. Customers can report water waste  online or by calling the Water Waste Hotline at 408-310-4195.

DEVELOPMENTAL ASSET 
OF THE MONTH
 
Asset #14: ADULT ROLE MODELS:
Parents and other adults model positive, responsible behavior

Tips to Help You Implement Asset #14: 
Adult Role Models
  • Treat your youth with love and respect
  • Model appropriate behaviors. When you make mistakes, admit them. Apologize for failures.
  • Spend time together often. Be involved in your youth's life on a daily basis.
  • Ask your youth who are her/his role model(s) at school, after school program and/or sport teams, and why?
Visit the  Developmental-Asset-a-Month Calendar  for more tips!
Developmental assets are the positive values, relationships, skills and experiences that help youth and teens thrive. Young people with high asset levels are most likely to make healthy choices, while those with lower asset levels are more likely to get involved with negative or risky behaviors like violence, trouble in school, drug and alcohol use and more. The Search Institute of Minneapolis created the developmental assets framework. For more information, visit  www.search-institute.org
