On March 25, 2003, the Modesto City Council adopted Stage I restrictions
of the Drought Contingency Plan. This water shortage plan was prepared to address
current water capacity issues, including enacting measures to reduce water consumption.
By enacting this aggressive program to reduce demands, together we can ensure that
system pressures do not deteriorate in the future.
The following Stage I restrictions of the Drought Contingency Plan are in place year
round:
- Outdoor water use-prohibited daily between 12:00 NOON and 7:00 PM.
- Odd-numbered addresses water on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
(E.g. 1513 Lotus St.)
- Even-numbered addresses water on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
(E.g. 1060 Lotus St.)
- No outdoor water use on Mondays.
- Car washing is subject to above-cited limitations with use of a positive shut-off nozzle.
- Hosing concrete areas, building exteriors, etc. may be done with City-issued permit and only
with a positive shut-off nozzle.
- Water leaks, once identified, must be repaired within 24 hours.
- Restaurants are encouraged to serve water only on request.
- New landscaping to comply with existing & futures landscape ordinances.
