WATER CONSERVATION CUTBACKS STILL IN FORCE
Paramount, like all cities across the state, is encouraging residents and businesses to cut down on outside water usage during this time of extreme drought.
Beginning in April, the number of days you can water lawn and landscaping goes back to three, after having two available days during winter
Here is a reminder of the recommended measures:
From April through October, you can water your lawn and landscaping on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday only
You can water on any day if you use a hand-held hose with a water shut-off device or with a hand-held container, as long as there is no water run-off.
You can water on any day if you use a very low-flow drip irrigation system.
No water run-off from lawns and landscaping.
No hosing down paved surfaces.
All water fountains or other decorative water features must use re-circulating water. (All decorative water fountains operated by the City use re-circulating water.)
All leaks, breaks, or other malfunctions in plumbing or irrigation systems must be fixed within 72 hours of observation and/or notification by the City
Use a hand-held hose with a water shut-off nozzle or hand-held bucket when washing cars.
Measures do not apply to “reclaimed” water, which City parks and landscaped medians use. Violations can result in fines.
For more information, please call the City of Paramount’s Public Works Department at (562) 220-2020.
