How to Read Your Meter
If your water bill suddenly increases, but you haven't changed the way you use water, chances are you've sprung a leak. If you can not identify visible leaks, read your water meter. It's good preventive
maintenance to conduct a leak check of your house once or twice
a year.

How to Read Your Meter:
  1. Turn off all water-inside and outside, including your automatic icemaker and evaporative cooler.
  2. Record the reading on your water meter.
  3. Wait 30 minutes.
  4. Record the new reading on your water meter. If the reading has changed, you have a leak.

Landscape Irrigation
Water Demand Management Strategy
With landscape irrigation season solidly upon us, the District's water demand has increased.  The District has a Water Demand Management Strategy in place to help it meet the increased water demands that come with landscape irrigation.  The District requests that residential and commercial landscape irrigation be limited to three days a week based on your street address as follows: 
  • Odd-numbered street addresses:  Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday
  • Even-numbered street addresses:  Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday
Additionally, the District's Rules and Regulations states, "Irrigation systems, either manual or automatic, shall only be operated during off-peak energy usage periods (10:00 p.m. through 10:00 a.m.)." 

See more about the District's Water Demand Strategy.
