Heads up CLCA members who service clients in Los Angeles, Ventura or San Bernardino counties: New water-use restrictions are coming that will most likely limit outdoor watering to one day a week for 6 million Southern Californians.
Due to the drought and resulting water delivery cutbacks from California’s State Water Project, the Metropolitan Water District on April 26 imposed new restrictions on suppliers in Los Angeles, Ventura and San Bernardino counties. READ>
Water suppliers must either:
- Limit landscape watering to one day per week, or
- Reduce total water use by their customers below a certain target
The goal is to ease the burden on the drought-stricken state aqueduct. As Southern California’s regional water importer and wholesaler, MWD will not directly impose the restrictions on consumers, but rather require impacted member agencies to enforce the watering limits.
The six impacted water suppliers are:
Los Angeles County
- Los Angeles Department of Water and Power
- Las Virgenes Municipal Water District
- Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District
- Three Valleys Municipal Water District
San Bernardino County
- Inland Empire Utilities Agency
Ventura County
- Calleguas Municipal Water District
