SAN CLEMENTE : Water Conservation Ordinance in Works
- Share via
In an effort to promote water conservation during a dry winter season, city officials are organizing a public forum.
The seminar, starting at noon Jan. 13 in City Hall, will feature speakers on local water issues, proper irrigation methods, drought-tolerant landscaping and environmental issues that are related to water shortages.
San Clemente officials recently have considered a water-rationing ordinance that would restrict development in the event of a critical shortage.
A public hearing on the ordinance is scheduled for Jan. 17 at a City Council meeting beginning at 7 p.m.
Under the proposal, the city would use drought-tolerant landscaping, regulate irrigation schedules, provide more frequent monitoring of water meters and hire two full-time employees to regulate water conservation.
City Hall is located at 100 Avenida Presidio.
