THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE 

If conditions of the Water System or the water supply so limit the availability of water that normal water use may endanger the adequacy of the water supply, the District may declare a water supply emergency and implement emergency water use restrictions and such additional regulations and restrictions that are reasonably necessary to conserve and protect the water supply and to insure an uninterrupted flow of water through the system. Such emergency water use regulations and restrictions shall remain in force and effect until the District determines that the conditions requiring their imposition no longer exist. Compliance with emergency water use restrictions is a requirement of these Rules & Regulations. Emergency conditions include but are not limited to: low river flows; impairment of water supply quantity and/or quality; Water Main break; loss of electrical power or pump outages; or loss of system pressure. The District may use local radio and television broadcasts, emergency notification systems, and local signage, as appropriate, to notify the public of such water supply emergency conditions and the necessary water use restrictions. 

An Air Gap must be always maintained between the swimming pool and the Water System. Swimming pools will be limited to one filling per year unless draining for repair is necessary. The Customer shall notify the District by telephone two (2) business days prior to the filling of a swimming pool.  

Outdoor private water features, such as but not limited to, fountains, waterfalls, and artificial ponds are prohibited in new construction and redevelopment. Pre-existing water features, which exist as of February 25, 2021, shall be entitled to continue to operate. However, modification, enlargement, or substantial improvement of the water feature will not be allowed, and any excessive use of water associated with the property or metered account may trigger the need to remove said water feature. Water features are not allowed to be placed in District easements.
