This is a reminder that a watering ban is currently in effect. Please review and follow the instructions below to ensure compliance with the restrictions. Penalties for noncompliance may include water service shut-off, a $120 reconnection fee, and fines of up to $500.

If your irrigation system is found running outside the approved schedule, we may need to shut off your water service to prevent violations and associated fines. If you have any questions, please contact me at reinier@sanlan.com.

Thank you for your cooperation.
