What kind of training does a water waste investigator go through?
Each investigator must go through a training that involves learning about the current mandatory water use restrictions, San Diego Municipal Code, different irrigation systems, and the process for conducting water waste investigations. What are the sources of water waste investigations? Most water waste complaints come through the Public Utilities Department via an email to waterwaste@sandiego.gov or via the water waste hotline at (619) 515-3500. We sometimes receive doorhangers from City employees and the public about water waste they observed. Also, if a water waste investigator notices water waste on the field, they will address the issue as well.
