The Monrovia City Council Declared a Water Shortage Emergency and implemented Phase I of the Water Conservation Ordinance at the August 5 City Council meeting, following Emergency Statewide Regulation requiring mandatory water conservation. Water Conservation efforts went into effect August 11 and will remain in effect until the City Council cancels the declaration.
The following restrictions are now in place:
• No person shall hose wash any sidewalk, walkway, driveway, parking area or other paved surface, except as required for sanitary purposes.
• Washing of motor vehicles shall be done only with a hand-held bucket or hose equipped with a positive shut-off nozzle.
• No water shall be used to clean, fill or maintain levels in decorative fountains unless the water is part of a recycling (recirculating) system.
• No restaurant, hotel, café, cafeteria or other place where food is sold, served or offered for sale shall serve drinking water to any customer unless expressly requested by that customer.
• All customers shall promptly repair all leaks from indoor and outdoor plumbing fixtures within 48 hours of discovery.
• All lawns, landscape or other turf area shall be watered down not more than every third day between the hours of 5 p.m. and 10 a.m.
• No person or customer shall cause or allow water to run off landscaped areas onto adjoining streets, sidewalks, or other paved areas due to incorrectly directed or maintained sprinklers or as the result of excessive watering.
Due to the adoption of the State Resolution, the City of Monrovia may impose fines of up to $500 for noncompliance. City officials will provide warning notices for residents prior to enforcing a fine and residents will receive 48-72 hours to address issues related to the Phase 1 restrictions.
