consecutive year of drought; and
Whereas, the Metropolitan Water District has declared a water
shortage in its service area, which includes the City of
Rancho Palos Verdes, and has urged its member agencies to
voluntarily reduce water consumption 10% ; and
Whereas, all member agencies and cities served by the
Metropolitan Water District have been requested to adopt a
voluntary drought resolution; and
Whereas, failure to meet the 15% reduction may result in
mandatory reductions at greater levels later in the summer*
and
If further conservation is required, an emergency ordinance
will be-submitted for council approval articulating- the
phases and mandatory savings required and recommended
penalties for violations of water conservation practices.
Now, therefore, the City of Rancho Palos Verdes declares that
a water shortage exists and requests and encourages all water
users to reduce water usage by at least 100.

period of voluntary conservation:
1. Use of a hose to wash walkways, driveways, parking areas
and other hard surfaces;
2. Cleaning, filling, or refilling non-recirculating
decorative fountains*
3. Serving water to restaurant customers unless expressly
requested;
4. Watering lawns and landscape areas between 10 a.m.
and 4 p.m.,
5. Allowing leaks to continue without repairs.

fixtures and the use of drought tolerant landscaping when
possible.
