Despite the best community efforts, Arcadia is not meeting its state mandated water use reduction standard of 36 percent.  The Arcadia City Council adopted Resolution 7088, which amended the Phase 1 Water Use Restrictions that affect all water customers.  The new water use restrictions limit outdoor watering of grass and plants to two days per week, Tuesday and Saturday, before 9 a.m. and after 6 p.m.  It is also now requires that sprinkler station cycles are limited to 10 minutes. The city’s water conservation hotline at (626) 574-3000 is available to anonymously report water waste. For more information, visit the city’s water conservation web page at http://www.ci.arcadia.ca.us/home/index.asp?page=1879.

If you have questions about water conservation, please contact the Public Works Services Department at (626) 256-6554.
