• Stage II Water Shortage Declared - As of June 2007, the City received only 44 percent of the anticipated normal rainfall for the season. That rainfall amount triggered the City Council's authorization of a Stage I alert on June 18, 2007 pursuant to the 2005 Urban Water Management Plan. With annual rainfall less than 65 percent of normal for the two-year period from June 2007 - June 2009, on July 20, 2009 the City declared a Stage II Water Shortage, our citizens are requested to voluntarily reduce water consumption. It’s important to be aware that the water supply for our residents, businesses, and new developments is in limited supply. Water conservation is the most cost-effective and environmentally sound way to reduce our demand for water.
  For your reference, here is a list of Water Conservation Tips available to help conserve water. Water conservation is the most cost-effective and environmentally sound way to reduce our demand for water.
