| LADWP STRENGTHENS WATER USE ORDINANCE TO ENCOURAGE CONSERVATION
The LADWP Board of Commissioners has approved revisions to the existing
Water Conservation Ordinance to discourage water waste by expanding
prohibited uses of water and increasing the penalties for violations.
Monetary fines for residential customers would be doubled from $50
for a first offense to $100, and quadrupled from $50 to $200 for large
customers, including businesses, with meters two inches and larger.
A phased approach is being utilized for prohibited uses, allowing the
Department to expand phases depending on the severity of water supply
conditions. Phase I seeks compliance of prohibited uses and requirements
and will be permanent and enforceable 24 hours a day throughout the
year. Subsequent phases can be implemented based on an assessment of
the City’s water supply by the Board.
The prohibited uses and requirements will be as follows:
Prohibited Uses: water hosing to rinse paved surfaces; decorative fountains
or ponds without water re circulation; unrequested water service
to restaurant customers; landscape irrigation runoff to pavement; washing
vehicles
without a water shutoff device; landscape irrigation between the
hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. year-around; landscape irrigation during
rain;
single-pass cooling systems in new buildings;
Requirements: requiring maintenance of leaky pipes on facilities; requiring
limiting sprinkler irrigation cycle times to 10 or 15 minutes; requiring
new car washes and laundry systems to use water re circulating systems;
requiring daily towel and linen laundering service at hotels and
motels to be optional; requiring use of rain sensors on irrigation systems
at parks and open fields.
Enforcement will be administered utilizing the Department’s Drought
buster Team which as been monitoring wasteful water practices and
educating customers throughout the City during the past year. The Drought
busters
will issue citations, with warnings for first time offenders and
issuance
of fines for repeat offenders. Fines will appear as a charge on the
customer’s DWP bill and appeals will follow an administrative
process, with final appeal to the LADWP Board.
This notification, along with the revised Ordinance and an Executive
Summary of the Ordinance will be posted on our website at www.ladwp.com/nc.
For any questions regarding this MOU notification , please contact
Greg Bartz, LADWP Neighborhood Council Liaison at (213) 367-2800.
