Topline:

Pasadena is limiting outdoor watering to one day a week starting on Wednesday.

The details: The winter season restrictions limit outdoor watering from two days per week to just one day through March.

Watering schedules are determined based on your address. Even-numbered addresses may water on Mondays. Odd-numbered addresses may water on Tuesdays.

Residents can only water outdoors between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. And watering is prohibited during and within 48 hours of significant rainfall.

The exceptions: Watering restrictions do not apply in some cases, including the maintenance of fruit trees and shrubs and landscaping intended for fire protection.

One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere.
