The cities of Redding, Calif., and Shasta Lake, Calif., are enforcing new restrictions on the hours and parameters for outdoor water use, according to KRCR News.
The regulations were approved at city council meetings Aug. 5.
While the restrictions vary per city, each limit the days during which lawns can be watered— about three days per week—and prohibit applying potable water to landscapes that are subject to runoff, applying potable water to driveways and sidewalks and limit or halt the use of potable water in water features.
Violations in Redding may be punishable by a fine or $500 and in Shasta Lake by a fine up to $1,000 and/or imprisonment for up to 30 days.
