Water Conservation 

WATER SMART

• Water only on your designated watering days.
• Water before 9 a.m. when temperatures are cooler.
• Skip watering after rain.
• Fix leaking sprinkler heads and avoid watering sidewalks and driveways.
• Water deeply and less frequently to encourage stronger roots.
• Let established lawns go dormant when appropriate.

 LANDSCAPE SMART

• Add mulch to help soil retain moisture.
• Choose native and drought-tolerant plants.
• Keep grass slightly taller to help conserve moisture. 

SMALL CHANGES MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE

 

Dead Trees & Landscaping

Keeping landscaping tidy and dead materials cleaned up from your yard is not only important for wildfire preparedness, but it is also part of the rules and regulations. Any dead trees, materials, or noxious weeds should be removed from your property as soon as you are aware, but if the District provides you with a courtesy notice, you will have 30 days to remedy the violation before receiving further notices and penalties.

Protect your home while conserving water. Remove dry vegetation, dead plants, and combustible materials around structures.

Maintain defensible space while following current water restrictions and fire regulations.
