Under STAGE II, Windcrest residents are assigned one day a week to water based on the last digit of your address (applies to residential and commercial customers).

0 or 1 Monday
2 or 3 Tuesday
4 or 5 Wednesday
6 or 7 Thursday
8 or 9 Friday

On your ASSIGNED DAY, you may irrigate with a sprinkler only between 3:00 am to 8:00 am in the morning and 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm in the evening. Hand watering is allowed any day but only during the hours listed above. These restrictions apply to newly installed lawns and they apply to soaker hoses used in place of a sprinkler

DRIP IRRIGATION for purposes of stabilizing moisture around a building foundation or to water a vegetable garden or shrubbery may be done at any time.

NON-COMMERCIAL WASHING of autos, trucks, trailers, boats and other private equipment may be done only on designated watering days using a hose equipped with a positive shut-off nozzle or with hand-held bucket. Water must not run off the property into street.

COMMERCIAL WASHING of autos, trucks, boats, trailers and other equipment shall be limited to immediate premises of a commercial washing facility equipped with a waterrecycling unit.

RESTAURANTS may serve water only upon request.

ORNAMENTAL FOUNTAINS or similar structures cannot be operated unless they recycle/reuse water. Potable water can not be used to make-up lost water.

The use of MAKE-UP WATER for existing private and public swimming pools, hot tubs, and other similar facilities is permitted. Refilling an empty existing pool and filling of new swimming pools and other similar facilities and activation of new sprinkler systems is prohibited unless a waiver is granted by the Water District.

Stage II restrictions continue until the EAA announces that Stage II has been upgraded to Stage III because the aquifer dropped to or below 640 feet or Stage II has been cancelled because the aquifer has remained above a rolling 10 day average of 650 feet for 30 days.
