The LA Board of Water and Power Commissioners approved an amendment in the water rationing ordinance, which would allow residents to use their sprinklers three days a week instead of the current two. Odd-numbered addresses would irrigate on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and even-numbered addresses on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays for up to 15 minutes.

Also, residents would be able to turn on “non-conserving nozzles,” such as sprinklers and bubblers, for up to eight minutes a day, or 24 minutes a week. “Conserving nozzles,” such as multi-stream rotary heads, could be turned on twice a day for up to 15 minutes each time, for a total of 90 minutes a week.  The amendment is now waiting for a sign off by City Council
