While some water agencies are urging the use of pool covers, most stop short of prohibiting the filling of swimming pools.
Large portions of Southern California are being told to water outdoors just one day a week. And a total watering ban could be imposed by fall.
Ventura County Public Works, which receives some water from the Calleguas Municipal Water District, is prohibiting filling new residential pools and refilling existing pools with more than one foot of water,But the nearby Triunfo Water and Sanitation District, which also receives water from Calleguas, does not include pools in its. However, it does say it will prohibit “the filling or topping off of any new or existing residential pools” in Stage 2.
One such agency, Golden State Water Co. — a supplier for state water-dependent areas in Claremont and Simi Valley — does not mention pools in itscalling for a 20% reduction and one-day-a-week watering. Instead, customers will “need to manage all usage to avoid the [overuse] surcharge,” general manager Benjamin Lewis wrote via email.
Some people such as Andre, the Alhambra resident, are hoping officials will take that responsibility to heart. Though he lives in a condo where his outdoor water use is already limited, he said he is looking into purchasing water-saving shower heads to cut back on his use indoors.
