Oakley Parks Spray Fountains Will Not Operate This Summer
|
The spray fountain features at Nunn-Wilson Family Park and Creekside Park, along with the individual spray feature poles at Shady Oak Park and Cypress Grove Park will be CLOSED this summer season due to continued drought conditions.
Last year Governor Jerry Brown proclaimed a State of Emergency and issued an Executive Order due to the severe California drought conditions. The State Water Resources Control Board quickly followed with the adoption of expanded emergency regulations and prohibited water uses. Despite recent rains, many southern California reservoirs remain low, and the State Water Resources Control Board has extended the emergency regulations to remain in effect through October 2016.
Kevin Rohani, City Engineer/Public Works Director, said "It's unfortunate, but much of California remains in a serious drought and the City must comply with the statewide water use restrictions to conserve water."
