> San José restricted watering hours change this Sunday
> Despite a few impressive rain storms this winter, Caâ??s multi-year
> drought is still far from over, and the need to save water remains critically
> important. As spring approaches and daylight hours lengthen, the allowable
> hours for outdoor watering will change with the start of Daylight Saving Time.
> Watering will be allowed only before 8 a.m. and after 8 p.m., effective Sunday,
> March 8, 2015.
>
> Here are some water rules and conservation tips to keep in mind:
> 1. Be cool - water when it's coolest. After Daylight Saving Time begins on
> March 8, outdoor watering hours are restricted to before 8 a.m. and after 8
> p.m.
> 2. Be quick - fix leaks as soon as possible
> 3. Be in control - don't let water flow into gutters or streets
> 4. Be a sharp shooter - with automatic shut-off nozzles. Hoses are required to
> have a nozzle that shuts off when the handle is released
> 5. Be a sweeper - sweep hard surfaces. Use a broom instead of a hose to clean
> patios, sidewalks, parking lots, or other hard surfaces
