State drought rules say that cities can no longer use potable drinking water sprinklers to irrigate landscaping along streets. That means many city medians and service road parkways are going brown, and trees in those areas are getting stressed and are at risk of disease and death.

State rules allow irrigating with recycled water, and expanding the use of recycled water for irrigation is a key component of a long-term solution to California's water troubles. More
