Recently, Pasadena City Council approved PWP’s recommendation to move up the one-day-per-week outdoor irrigation schedule to September 1, 2022. The region is experiencing extraordinary drought conditions that are significantly impacting water supplies, leading to critically low storage levels on the State Water Project and Colorado River systems, as well as declining local groundwater levels.
While PWP customers have made significant strides in conserving water since the Level 2 Water Shortage Plan was implemented in August 2021, Pasadena must expand its water conservation efforts in order to meet the City’s 15 percent water-use reduction goal. By implementing the one-day-per-week watering schedule in September, rather than in November when it is typically implemented, Pasadena will take a proactive approach to conserving water.
The watering schedule applies to all customers; although PWP has worked closely with some organizations throughout the community to adopt water savings plans that will allow for business continuity while still working to achieve a 15 percent water-use reduction.
Customers with even-numbered street addresses water on Mondays only, while customers with odd-numbered street addresses water on Tuesdays only. All outdoor watering must take place before 9 AM and after 6 PM to comply with Pasadena Municipal Code 13.10.
