California experienced heavy rain last winter. The extra water replenished our reservoirs and snowpacks. But the next drought could be around the corner. Using water wisely remains an important practice. We encourage you to continue making water conservation a way of life.

Maintain water-saving habits to build a resilient community and prepare for future droughts. Daily acts like checking leaks or watering during cool hours of the day help us conserve water.

The City has permanent water-use prohibitions in place to promote conservation. Resources and rebates are available to help you reduce water use in your home or business. Working together we can meet our conservation goals and protect our water supply.
