It is standard policy that when watering restrictions are not being followed, for the first violation, Ordinance Enforcement will send the resident a warning letter advising of the possible oversight of the watering restrictions. The warning letter advises the resident if a second or third violation occurs, a citation will be issued.
If a citation is issued for violating the watering restrictions two or more times, a mandatory court appearance is required and you will be assessed a fine plus court costs as set out in the schedule below:
Second Violation: Citation and Fine of up to $250 plus Court Costs of $61.00
Third Violation: Citation and Fine of up to $500 plus Court Costs of $61.00
ALL residents are encouraged to ensure that their sprinkler systems are set correctly to avoid notices and possible citations. Please remember that if your system is unplugged or the electricity goes off, it will reset itself when turned back on and will need to be reprogrammed. There will be no leniency for systems set incorrectly.
