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.
