At the May 23, 2022 meeting of the West Basin Municipal Water District (West Basin) Board of Directors, the Board adopted drought response actions including a call on its communities to reduce outdoor irrigation to two days per week.
Board President Donald L. Dear stated, “The Board decision to call for a uniform two day per week outdoor watering standard across the service area aims to reduce uncertainty about how and how much water we should be saving. Outdoor watering accounts for 50% or more of local water use in many areas. Reducing outdoor water use is a very effective way to save water during this historic drought.”
