The Long Beach Water Department urges residents and businesses to begin implementing the following water conservation measures immediately.
1. Eliminate landscape over- watering and water runoff, water your garden or lawn during the cool parts of the day. Early morning is better than dusk since it helps prevent the growth of fungus. Please give your sprinkler systems a tune-up!
2. Reduce your time in the shower and install a low-flow shower head. Free low-flow shower heads are available at Long Beach Water Dept., 1800 E. Wardlow Rd. or Office of Councilman Patrick O’Donnell, 4th District (562) 570-6918.
3. Check your water meter for leaks. Turn off the taps in your house and check to see if the meter is still running.
4. Run only full loads in the washing machine and dishwasher.
5. Use a broom instead of a hose to clean sidewalks, driveways or gutters.
This request is preceded by a record low snowfall and rainfall in the State of California for the last several years. The Long Beach Board of Water Commissioners may declare more serious Stages of its Emergency Water Supply Shortage Plan, triggering increased mandatory prohibitions on water use in the City of Long Beach.
