Be water wise
Drought in California means residents need to save water and be efficient. Anaheim has a residential watering schedule in place to help save water.
Residents with an even number address may water their landscaping on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. Residents with an odd number address may water on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.
Anaheim residents can also take advantage of water saving rebates on things around the residence from efficient clothes washers to rotating sprinkler nozzles. More information available at Anaheim.net/rebates.
