East Bay MUD Asks Customers to Shut Off Sprinklers During Wet Weather

Announcement from East Bay Municipal Utility District:

With rain in the immediate forecast, EBMUD is asking customers to please shut off their sprinklers to conserve water. From July 2014 to date, the East Bay Area has received roughly 4 ¾ inches of rain and EBMUD’s reservoirs are about 2/3 full.

Previous: Rain (Really? Yes!) Expected Intermittently Through Saturday

While California’s new restrictions limiting outdoor irrigation to two days per week still apply, it’s an even more water-wise decision to shut off irrigation altogether throughout winter. With less sunlight, lawns need less water to live. Please do your part in conserving water by turning off sprinklers during this patch of rain, and for the rest of the season.
