Burbank places restrictions on landscape water use
In the seven years Simon Hammel has lived in his Burbank home, he says he’s replaced at least 60% of the grass that used to be there. It’s now primarily mulch, drought-tolerant plants and fruit and veggie trees. Hammel is trying his best to do as much as he can to conserve water and live eco-friendly. … In July, Gov. Gavin Newsom asked all Californians to reduce their water use by 15%. The city of Burbank implemented a Sustainable Water Use Ordinance, limiting residents outdoor watering systems to three days a week, for 15 minutes — not including hand watering.
