Residents of Pasadena are encouraged to provide comment, and hear information on recommendations, to implement the City’s Level 2 Water Shortage Plan during Monday night City Council’s meeting.
Pasadena City Council will discuss the plan for the second time, plus other possible steps in response to the serious drought in California and Governor Jerry Brown’s mandate for a 25-percent cut in water use.
Pasadena’s Level 2 Water Shortage Plan limits outdoor watering to two days per week during spring and summer, and one day per week during fall and winter. The plan requires water leaks to be fixed within 48 hours and prohibits the filling of ornamental lakes and ponds.
Mayor Terry Tornek said:
The City Council will undertake a serious dialogue with the public to discuss various methods to achieve these savings. If all of us work together to reform current practices, we can meet our goals while maintaining our quality of life.
More information on Pasadena’s water restrictions is available online. Fines for repeat offenders can be up to $500 per violation for residential customers, and up to $1,000 per violation for all non-residential accounts.
! The meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chamber at Pasadena City Hall.
The City has been operating on a Level 1 declaration since July 28, 2014 that limits outdoor watering to three days in spring and summer and one day in fall and winter.
On a serious note I say that without water there can be no Vodka! So, save the Vodka and don’t pee away gray water! Re-use it! Once boiled you can drink it over and over and again!
If you are not willing to do it then please move to the east coast or design a system to siphon their rain water to over here! I mean we transport Alaskan oil so why not water. At least we can drink it! And drive!!!
