<br /> 271 (Pleasanton Supp. No. 27, 1-22)
<br /> 9. The use of water for construction activities
<br />should utilize recycled water, rather than potable water.
<br />Such use shall occur in a manner that does not result in
<br />runoff or illicit discharge into the storm drain system.
<br /> 10. Commercial power washing should utilize
<br />recycled water, in a manner that does not result in water
<br />discharging into the storm drain system.
<br /> 11. Pools and spas should remain covered when
<br />not in use to prevent evaporation, and should be
<br />equipped with recirculating pump(s).
<br /> 12. The use of potable water in decorative, non-
<br />recirculatory ponds, fountains, and other decorative wa-
<br />ter features is prohibited.
<br /> 13. Use of potable water to irrigate outdoor
<br />landscaping during and within 48 hours after measurable
<br />rainfall is prohibited.
<br /> B. Stage 2—Up to 20 Percent Voluntary or
<br />Mandatory Reduction. There is sufficient uncertainty
<br />concerning water supply, either based upon AWSDA
<br />findings or unforeseeable events, to lead to the conclu-
<br />sion that supply may not adequately meet normal de-
<br />mand in the current or upcoming years. The following
<br />restrictions shall be applicable during a Stage 2 activa-
<br />tion of the water shortage contingency plan:
<br /> 1. All of the Stage 1 restrictions, in subsection
<br />A, shall continue to be in effect during Stage 2, and shall
<br />be mandatory under a mandatory Stage 2 declaration.
<br /> 2. Outdoor irrigation of lawn and ornamental
<br />landscaping shall be limited to one day per week Octo-
<br />ber through March, and no more than three non-
<br />consecutive days per week April through September.
<br />Irrigation system checks for breaks/leak repairs by pre-
<br />sent irrigation professionals who remain on-site directly
<br />observing the system are excluded.
<br /> 3. Commercial customers should post water
<br />conservation messages on bathroom lavatory mirrors.
<br /> 4. The use of water for construction activities
<br />shall utilize recycled water, rather than potable water.
<br />Such use shall occur in a manner that does not result in
<br />runoff or illicit discharge into the storm drain system.
<br /> C. Stage 3—Up to 30 Percent Mandatory Re-
<br />duction. There are definable events, including, but not
<br />limited to, AWSDA findings, that lead to a reasonable
<br />conclusion that in the current and/or upcoming water
<br />years, water supplies may not be adequate to meet all
<br />customer water demands. Or, pervious water conserva-
<br />tion targets has not been met, therefore further action is
<br />necessary. The following mandatory restrictions shall be
<br />applicable during a Stage 3 activation of the water short-
<br />age contingency plan:
<br /> 1. All of the prohibitions, restrictions, and rec-
<br />ommendations set forth during adequate supply and
<br />Stage 1 and voluntary Stage 2, shall all be in effect and
<br />shall all be mandatory.
<br /> 2. Outdoor irrigation of lawn and ornamental
<br />landscaping shall be limited to one day per week Octo-
<br />ber through March, and no more than two non-
<br />consecutive days per week April through September.
<br />Irrigation system checks for breaks/leak repairs by pre-
<br />sent irrigation professionals who remain on-site directly
<br />observing the system are excluded.
<br /> 3. Restaurant kitchens shall be equipped with
<br />low-flow rinse nozzles.
<br /> D. Stage 4—Up to 40 Percent Mandatory Re-
<br />duction. There are definable events, including, but not
<br />limited to, AWSDA findings, that lead to a firm conclu-
<br />sion that in the current water year, water supplies will
<br />not be adequate to meet customers’ water demands;
<br />and/or pervious water conservation targets has not been
<br />met, therefore further action is necessary to reduce water
<br />demand. The following mandatory restrictions shall be
<br />applicable during a Stage 4 activation of the water short-
<br />age contingency plan:
<br /> 1. All of the prohibitions, restrictions, and rec-
<br />ommendations set forth during Stages 1, 2, and 3 shall
<br />all be in effect and shall all be mandatory.
<br /> 2. Washing of autos, trucks, trailers, and other
<br />types of mobile equipment is permitted only at commer-
<br />cial car wash facilities that recycle all or part of the wa-
<br />ter.
<br /> 3. Outdoor watering under Stage 4 is restricted
<br />as follows:
<br /> a. Single-family residential individually me-
<br />tered and multi-family (non-irrigation) classes shall be
<br />limited in the use of all outdoor watering to hand-
<br />watering using a hose with a positive shut-off nozzle,
<br />drip, or subsurface irrigation on two non-consecutive
<br />days per week.
<br /> b. All other water customers classes not falling

<br />ternate watering days by the director.
