New Ordinance for DWP customers went into effect on June 1 calls for the following:

Lawn sprinklers are now restricted to use only on Mondays and Thursdays and you MAY NOT use them between the hours of 9:00am and 4:00pm. We are limited to running sprinklers for 15 minutes per watering station or 10 minutes for other irrigation systems. Hand watering with a hose with a shutoff valve is permitted.

You may not water on any hard surfaces such as sidewalks, walkways, driveways or parking areas.

You may not allow water runoff onto streets and into gutters from excessive watering.

You may not allow any leaks from any pipe or fixture to go unrepaired.

You may not wash any vehicles without using a hose with a shutoff valve.

And for restaurants, you may not serve water to any customers unless requested.

A complete list of prohibited uses of water is available on the DWP's website (ladwp.com).
