-- The Community Services Department has finished its first phase of grinding down more than 2,400 uneven sidewalk locations. The second phase includes removing broken sidewalk raised by more than an inch and half, The city staff will request funding for these improvements in the upcoming budget development process.
-- Residents need to reduce water consumption by 10 percent but comply with the city's water conservation ordinance and keep their landscaping viable.
"Our water conservation ordinance allows watering of landscaping seven days a week, although you may only use your irrigation system before 9 a.m. and after 5 p.m. If you water by hand with a hose equipped with a self-closing nozzle, you may water anytime of the day."
Other tips were to limit watering to 2 to 3 days a week for 15 minutes and install drought-tolerant landscaping with a drip irrigation system.
