Stage 1 Water Conservation is in Effect
Monterey Peninsula: Special rules for a special community. The Peninsula is now operating under Stage 1 of the 2016 Monterey Peninsula Water Conservation and Rationing Plan (MPWMD Regulation XV and Cal-Am Rule 14.1.1). This is a joint conservation program between the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District (MPWMD) and California American Water. Adhering to this plan is critical to protect our water supply and the sensitive natural environment of the Carmel River.
Water waste is prohibited.
Follow the Outdoor Watering Schedule
A limited two-day per week watering scheduling is required. No location can be watered for more than 15 minutes.
Irrigation may occur between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. only on Saturdays and Wednesdays, except for irrigation overseen by a professional gardener or landscaper who is available on site and that is not exceeding a maximum two watering days per week.
Remember to adjust your sprinklers each season and contact California American Water for a free audit by a water conservation expert.
