Council adopts daytime-irrigation restrictions, places new language under water code

Jul 28, 2026

Council moved the proposed daytime-watering limits into Title 13 (water) and approved an amended restriction that limits above-ground sprinkler watering during peak daytime hours; staff will distribute education materials and run an initial outreach/enforcement window.

The full story

The council adopted code language replacing section 13.20.030 to add daytime irrigation restrictions for city-provided culinary water. Staff and the city attorney advised moving the language into Title 13 of the municipal code because the city's regulatory authority applies only to water systems and rights the city owns and operates, not to private wells or irrigation-company systems.
