San Diego Water Regulations Begin June 1
The city of San Diego is enforcing new water conservation regulations as of June 1. The city is faced with reduced amounts of water being received from its two main suppliers; the San Diego County Water authority and the Metropolitan Water District. A spokesperson for the Mayor's office stated that the reductions amount to a total ten percent reduction in supply.
Residents are allowed to only water their lawns between the hours of 6 pm and 10 am. All decorative fountains must have a recirculation pump.

The city's level two Drought Alert page on the web outlines the following regulations:

Homes marked with even-numbered address may water on Saturday, Monday & Wednesday.

Home marked with odd-numbered addresses may water on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday.
Condominiums, apartment buildings and businesses may water on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Fines for reported violations can run from $250 up to $1,000. The city of San Diego will hire an additional ten code compliance officers.
