City's water supplier declares mandatory 'Water Alert'
|
Aliso Viejo's water supplier, Moulton Niguel Water, implemented a mandatory "Level 2 Water Alert condition that goes into effect June 1.
Moulton Niguel's board of directors adopted a resolution last month declaring a Water Supply Response Level 2 condition, which applies when consumers need to reduce their water usage by up to 20 percent in order to have sufficient supplies to meet anticipated demands.
The Level 2 condition, which is mandatory, is in response to regional wholesaler, Municipal Water District of Orange County, reducing the amount of water the district will receive without being charged significant penalties.
The public should comply with "Water Watch" conservation practices during a Level 2 "Water Alert" and must adhere to mandatory conservation measures such as irrigating residential properties on certain days of the week.

Aliso Viejo's population has grown by nearly 500, according to the state Department of Finance, which released its latest growth projections Thursday.
Aliso Viejo grew by 471 residents (1.04 percent) in 2008, bringing its population to 45,683 in the beginning of this year.
The Department of Finance provides an estimate of the change in population to local governments, which use that percentage change in conjunction with a change in the cost of living - or price factor - to calculate their appropriations limit for fiscal year 2009-2010.
Of the state's 480 cities, 453 gained population, five had no change and 20 lost residents in 2008.
