- Must not use potable water on outdoor landscapes in a manner that causes runoff.
- Must wash motor vehicles with a hose fitted with an automatic shutoff nozzle.
- Cannot use potable water in fountains or decorative water features, unless the water is recirculated
- Must repair defective or broken plumbing and irrigation systems within a reasonable amount of time.
- Restaurants must serve water only upon request.

Although the MPMWD may impose fines to repeat violators of the restrictions, our goal is to educate MPMWD customers on water use, water conservation techniques, and available rebates and freebies. Visit http://www.menlopark.org/356/Water-Conservation for more information.
