DWP's water conservation rules

On June 1, the city put in place stricter limits on water use. Among them:

* Automatic sprinklers are limited to Mondays and Thursdays before 9 a.m. or after 4 p.m.

* Sprinklers must not run more than 15 minutes per watering station.

* Hand watering is allowed any day before 9 a.m. or after 4 p.m., but only with an automatic shut-off nozzle.

* Cars may be hose-washed only if a shut-off nozzle is used.

* Water may not be used to wash hard surfaces, such as sidewalks, driveways or parking areas, except for health and safety purposes.

* Runoff into streets and gutters is prohibited.
