In consideration of our extraordinary drought conditions and the Governor’s third drought Executive Order dates June 8, 2021 (see attached), we are implementing the following procedures:
- All school irrigation clocks are being adjusted to water only two days per week. Some larger schools require two days to rotate through all of their stations, so people may see the sprinklers on every day, but each station will only be watering two times per week.
- We will only be watering during the evening and night time hours. On occasion, sprinklers may be running a brief test cycle during the day to check for broken heads or to make spray pattern adjustments.
- New sod and seed areas will continue to be watered according to recommended schedules.
- The Custodial Department will continue to work with individual schools to assist with broken sprinkler heads and to correct spray pattern issues.
- We continue to encourage schools to submit work orders to repair leaking faucets, toilets and drinking fountains.
- We will continue to follow this drought issue closely and plan to comply with any other State, County or local restrictions.
- All principals and custodians will be informed of these changes and our plans moving forward.
- Please continue to call or email us with any water issues that are brought to your attention and we will dispatch our employees to address them.
We hope that this helps you answer questions and demonstrates our commitment to responsible water use during these extreme conditions.
