According to city documents, Phase 2 restricts commercial and residential landscape watering to five days a week. No outside water use is allowed on Fridays or Mondays to allow the water system to recover, and hand-watering of landscapes is permitted only from 6 p.m.-10 a.m.
No outside water use is permitted between 10 a.m.-6 p.m.
Per the city, the "near-record string" of 100-plus-degree days stressed the Phase 1 plan to the point the city was compelled to implement Phase 2.
City officials will consider recommending an extension of Phase 2 for an additional two weeks at the Sept. 12 City Council meeting.
