Cal Water applies for permission to raise penalties for irrigation violations
Local customers of California Water Service may soon face enforcement actions against their use of outdoor irrigation if state regulators give the company permission to advance to the next phase of its water shortage contingency plan. … Approval of Cal Water’s request would double fines for customers watering outdoor landscapes more than two days per week outside the hours of 6 p.m. to 8 a.m., unless local ordinances say otherwise.
