I see cities or golf courses or recreational businesses watering at times when I cant. Dont water restrictions apply to them?
Yes, the restrictions apply to almost all outside water users — but restrictions for large users like cities, golf courses or farms are different than those for residents. Cities are often governed by Commercial restrictions, which vary from those for residents, usually because larger areas and systems are regulated. Other large users such as golf courses or farms are required to reduce overall use, by 30% under Phase II restrictions, and by 45% under Phase III — instead of having designated days and hours. Many are also required to make frequent reports on the quantities they are using, and are subject to fines if they do not meet goals or make reports.
