Topline:

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.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.

But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.

We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.

Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
