Mandatory, countywide water conservation measures go into effect on June 1, 2015 which will limit landscape irrigation to two days per week. These new limits on watering are the result of a recent vote by the San Diego County Water Authority.

They were reacting to state cuts and a reduction in water from the Colorado River watershed. Although San Diego has increased their water supply through independent sources, they are not exempt from the state’s executive order requiring an immediate 25 percent statewide reduction in urban water use.
