A South Coast city is the latest place in the Tri-Counties to announce that residents will have to make major mandatory cuts in water use as a result of the drought.
The City of Thousand Oaks is limiting home and business landscaping watering to one day a week. Odd number addresses can water on Saturdays, and even number addresses on Sundays. People can hand water trees and bushes as needed.
Active use areas like parks, schools, and golf courses can water twice a week.
And, there are some big requirements for pools, and spas. Pools must be covered during the day, and the draining and re-filling of pools and spas is banned.
Thousand Oaks officials say the community needs to cut its water use by 50% to avoid a total ban on outdoor water use.
