Dear Gulf Stream Residents:
October 5, 1989
For over two years our Town, as well as other municipalities, have
been mandated to prepare a State required Comprehensive Plan. We
are happy to report that the only portion of that Plan that has
been found not to be in compliance with State requirements is the
excessive amount of potable water the town is using for home
consumption and irrigation purposes.
The State has told us our excessive use of water must be drastically
reduced. They are not speaking of a temporary reduction but are,
in fact, advising that from this day forward we must reduce our
usage measurably.
For a number of years many of us have used town water rather than
wells for irrigation purposes. As a matter of fact, close to 90% of
our metered water is used this way. If we do not curtail the amount
of potable water we are currently using we face severe State action.
To accomplish this reduction we are asking all residents to
immediately restrict their watering to two days per week. We have
been told by several landscapers that two days of watering per week
is sufficient to maintain our foliage.
If we cannot cut water use to meet State requirements by voluntary
mesures we will have no choice but to enact strict requirements to
meet the State Statutes.
On behalf of the Town Commission I thank you for your help and
cooperation in this matter.

October 14,1989
To: Town of Gulf Stream
From: Members of the Gulf Stream Homeowners Improvement
Association, Inc.
Subject: Sewer Services Approval
Objective: Provide sewer services to 40+ homes in the town of
Gulf Stream with the ability to add 80+ homes at a
later date.
The following are the current activities and status of the sewer
project we are working on along with our request to get formal
approval from the Town of Gulf Stream to install the system:
- The surveyors have finished surveying the area for the sewer
system. They have also finished surveying the line for the force
main through the Little Club . We met with the Adair and Brady
engineer on October 11 to obtain the proposed layout of the
system. They gave us the base proposal that we will use to get the
permits and permission from the various town, city and county
organizations that have an interest and approval requirements for
our activities. There really is very little leeway in the design
due to the terrain we are dealing with. The soil boring reports
contained two basic problems. The first was the extensive rock
formations on the eastern side of the area we are working in. The
second was the unstable ground on the western side of the area we
are working in. The result is that we will have five lift stations
instead of one and we will put pilings under the gravity mains.
The design still allows for the connection of the rest of the
homes north of the Gulf Stream Golf Club. The surveyors located
most of the connection points to the homes. We will be talking
to each of the homeowners to locate exactly where they wish to
be connected. The survey marks in the street were done in day -glow
orange but they are fast disappearing. The stakes along the side
of Gulf Stream Road mark the force main line where we will connect
into the Little Club line. A copy of the soil boring report was
given to the Town of Gulf Stream. The original layout map is
currently being used by Earl Harvel to work up the estimates for
maintenance. That map will be given to the Town of Gulf Stream.
There are detail engineering drawings being developed for the
contractors to bid from. They will be delivered to us by the end
of October.
- We are now at the point where we would like to get formal
approval on our efforts to install the sewer system from the Town
of Gulf Stream. We would like to have our lawyer, Michael A.
Schroeder of Schroeder and Larche, P.A., meet with the laver for
the Town of Gulf Stream to draw up the necessary agreements. We
have included four copies of the system layout with this request
along with sample pictures of what the lift stations would look
like. All of the lift stations would be placed in the right of
ways on the side of the streets with the possible exception of the
master station which might be placed partially on the Gulf Stream
School property if they decide to join in with us (we are trying
to schedule a meeting with their engineer). The layout meets the
requirements of distance from the other systems (water, etc.). We
would like to connect an alarm system to the Town Hall to be
monitored by the Gulf Stream police (call the 24 hour maintenace
providers when a signal light comes on). The system does have dual
motors and pumps in case of failure and will have a capacity to
allow 24 to 48 hours for dual failure correction.
- Charles Hallock is currently scheduled to present the proposed
system to the Town of Gulf Stream meeting on October 20.

In an effort to create a narrative form in order to petition for this variance
the following statement best sums up our intention.
The house is designed to be a familiar evocation of traditional South Florida
estates. In keeping with appropriate gestures and proportions of this
tradition, the hipped roof which centers the composition and focuses the house
in general is an extremely important element.

Hon. William A. Mayer
Chairman, Planning & Zoning Board
Town of Gulf Stream

Gulf Stream,Fl. 33483
Dear Mr. Mayer:
This letter is submitted on behalf of the Town of Gulf Stream Civic
Association, Inc. in opposition to the proposal for a variance
increasing the height of a one - family residence from thirty -five feet
to forty -two feet, as requested by Mr. Thomas Crocker.
The Town of Gulf Stream Civic Association is an organization for the
purpose of advancing the civic interests of the Town of Gulf Stream
including the protection of persons and property and the values of
the latter. It is a non - profit corporation with 371 members. The
reasons for Civic Association opposition to the variance proposal are
as follows:
1.
The granting of
the variance would be contrary to the best
interests of the
Town of Gulf Stream and could adversely
affect the value
of similiar properties.
2.
The proposal is
the first in our recollection to exceed the
thirty -five foot
height limitation as contained in the Town
Zoning Ordinance.
3.
The granting of
this variance would establish a dangerous
precedent for future
building. It could be that future
variances might
be sought at various heights above the
thirty -five foot
limitation. There is no way of predicting
what impact such
a precedent would have on future building.
4.
The proposal to
increase the height of a one - family residence
from thirty -five
feet to forty -two feet even exceeds the
maximum limitation
placed on the building of multi -story
buildings.
Civic Association - Crocker
Page Two
5. There are no one - family residences either on the ocean -front or
elsewhere which exceed the maximum thirty -five foot limitation
provided in the Zoning Ordinance.
6. No prior review in the application process provided in the
Zoning Ordinance has been held.
7. In presenting the application for variance the applicant is
required to show that "a literal enforcement of the provision
of the Ordinance will result in unnecessary hardship."
Actually, the variance is sought solely to meet the esthetic
and building desires of the owner and architect. The conditions
from which the owner and architect desire to be relieved are,
therefore, of their own creation. It was never intended that the
provisions of the Zoning Ordinance should not be strictly
respected and enforced merely to meet the individual desire of
a particular owner- builder.
8. It can reasonably and easily be observed that, with architectural
imagination and ingenuity, a modification in the building plans
can be made which would then provide compliance with the thirty -
five foot height limitation.
It is respectfully requested that the application be denied thus
serving the best interest of the community and that an appropriate
recommendation to this effect be made to the Town Commission.

Dear Mr. Brandt,
This letter is to inform you that I object to any variance on
two and a half stories or 35 feet for property owners in Gulf
Stream.
I think you and I both agree that it is not in the best
interest of the property owners in Gulf Stream to have any
variance from the 35 feet in height.
Sincerely,

Mr. Richard Brandt

Mrs. Tolleson and I have received your notice of
September 20, 1989 regarding the hearings scheduled to be
held before the Planning and Zoning Board on October 18,
1989 and the Town Commission on October 20, 1989 on the
request of Crocker & Company dated September 12, 1989 for a
variance of the maximum building height on a single - family
residence to be constructed on parts of Lots 4 and 5, Gulf
Stream Ocean Tracts, in Gulf Stream.
Mrs. Tolleson and I will not be in the City until
after the scheduled meetings. We wish to go on record with
your office however that we believe it would be inadvisable
to grant the requested variance of the maximum building
height and that the provisions of the Building Code should
be supported and maintained in the best interest of the
community and its residents.
Very truly yours,

I have done what you have requested in regard to
the proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. I am
not sure this is necessarily the best approach. For
instance, I do not think anything needs to be mentioned
for lots less than 20,000 square feet, since the Ordinance
presently prohibits the use of a lot or parcel of less
than 20,000 square feet. The Commission currently has
full control of lots less than this amount in that it
can, in the event it does grant a variance, impose
whatever conditions it wishes on the granting of the
variance.
There are other matters which perhaps deserve
discussion in the event we are looking at amendments
to the Zoning Code.
Please be advised that this Ordinance will require
two readings and will require a quarter page advertisement
in the newspaper, along with advertised public hearings.

Dear Commissioners:
At the March, 1988 meeting of the Commissioners, the Town of Gulf
Stream requested that you consider our development of F.I.N.D.
tract MSA 641 -A as a public park. You were kind enough at that
meeting to give to the Town of Gulf Stream one year to investigate
and develop a park.
The Town of Gulf Stream has devoted a considerable amount of time
in studying and planning to develop a park on the above tract of
land, but has come to the conclusion that it would not be feasible
to do so at this time.
On behalf of the Town of Gulf Stream, I wish to thank the Florida
Inland Navigation District for its consideration of our prior
request and the many courtesies you have shown to us over the
years.
Sincerely,

Dear Local Government Official:
Public Works Mutual Aid Agreem
As you are aware, Florida is subject to a number of natural disasters,
such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and sinkholes, which often cause severe
damage to public property and facilities. Local governments often
need assistance after these disasters with making emergency repairs to
restore needed services. The Florida Chapter of the American Public
Works Association (APWA) has developed a model Public Works Mutual Aid
Agreement for use by local governments to facilitate emergency assis-
tance between participating governments. A copy of this Agreement is
attached.
The Public Works Mutual Aid Agreement sets forth basic procedures for
requesting and providing emergency assistance, reimbursement of ex-
penses, record keeping, liability limits, and other related items.
The State Division of Emergency Preparedness would serve as a central
depository of executed Agreements and publish annual listings of
participating governments. In times of need, a participating govern-
ment would telephone another participating government and request
assistance under the terms of the Agreement with any mutually agreed
upon exceptions. Whether or not to provide requested assistance is
strictly up to the'oontacted participating government. The process
would be well - defined and much quicker than currently exists; thus
allowing the affected local government to focus its efforts on the
emergency rather than on administrative details of outside assistance.
This model Agreement is patterned after the "State Emergency Manage -'
ment Act" within the.Florida Statutes and mutual aid agreements al-
ready in use by electric utilities in the State of Florida. The
Agreement is supported`bg the Florida Association of Counties and the
Florida League of Cities.
Please review the Agreement with your Commission or Council and re-
quest they become a "Participating Government" by entering into the
Agreement and sending an executed copy to the Division of Emergency
Management. Remember, hurricane season began June 1.
If you have questions regarding the Agreement, several Florida Chapter
APWA members around the state have volunteered to assist in presenting
the Agreement and responding to questions. A listing of those members
with contact information is enclosed for your use.
Bes egards,
i

insurance carrier's letter or the resolution of self- insurance
shall be attached to the executed copy of this Agreement which is
filed with the Director, Division of Emergency Management, Flori-
da Department of Community Affairs, Tallahassee, Florida. Each
Assisting Party shall be solely responsible for determining that
its insurance is current and adequate prior to providing assis-
tance under this Agreement.

A PRECIOUS
L! Lt-14
PUBLISHED BY THE SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT
outh Florida experi-
ences both floods and
droughts. To protect
people from these
natural occurrences, a regional
water control agency was formed
in 1949. Now known as the South
Florida Water Management
WATER IN 500Tµ FLORIDA IS A'
PRECIOUS WMMODIiy) HSRI :s
WNY, AND HOW YOU CAO HELP/
District, one of this organiza-
tion's main jobs is to protect our
water supply— especially during
times of drought.
This brochure will help you
understand why South Florida is
vulnerable to drought, and why
J1r�
it is important for you to help
protect and conserve our water
supply in times of shortage.
Some Facts About
Water Protection,
South Florida,
and the SFWMD
he South Florida Water
Management District
is one of five water
management agencies
created by the Florida legisla-
ture. The 16- county area in our
District extends from Orlando
south to the Keys, and from Fort
Pierce in the east to Fort Myers
in the west. The District con-
tains nearly 5 million people,
and more than one quarter of
the land in the state.
The major surface water system
in the area is composed of the
upper Kissimmee chain of lakes,
the Kissimmee River, Lake
Okeechobee, the Caloosahatchee
River and the Everglades — plus
associated lakes, wetlands,
storage areas and canals.
Today's SFWMD mission re-
volves around "protection" —
protection against floods, pro-
tection and enhancement of the
environment, protection of our
water supplies and protection
of the quality of our water.
To carry out these important
assignments, the District's efforts
include planning and research,
operations and maintenance,
community and government
relations, land management
and construction. The SFWMD
issues permits which keep
groundwater withdrawals and
drainage plans consistent with
the best interests of public need.
Technical assistance is provided
to many of the 136 local govern-
ments within District boundaries
to help coordinate land use and
water resource issues.
\ \0 \\
region to region and from year to
year. It is not unknown to have
a year of floods followed by a
year of drought. In 1981, for
example, a serious drought re-
sulted in a severe water shortage.
The following year, we experi-
enced wide- spread flooding.
' During droughts we have pro-
longed dry spells that result in
significant reductions of stored
water. Reduced storage is most
visible in our lakes, such as
Lake Okeechobee, which is the
hub of the water supply network
for all of South Florida.
Why Does "Tropical"
South Florida
Suffer From
Water Shortages?
outh Florida is a land
of weather extremes.
The key characteristic
of our subtropical cli-
mate is its seasonal variability
and its impact on our water sup-
ply. Weather patterns usually
bring hot, wet summers during
which 70 percent of our rainfall
occurs. In contrast to the summer
rainy season, South Florida
winters are cool and dry.
Although the region averages
55 -60 inches of annual rainfall,
not all of the water is available
for storage. An estimated 45
inches is lost through a com-
bination of evaporation and
transpiration (the process of
plants absorbing water through
their roots and returning it to
the atmosphere as water vapor
through their leaves). And rain-
fall amounts vary greatly from
However, the majority of fresh
water for our cities, businesses
and agriculture comes from
another, less visible, source —
groundwater. Water is stored
underground in layers of rock
and sand called aquifers, which
are replenished by rainwater
percolating down through the
soil.
During a drought, reduced rain-
fall means less water reaching
the underground aquifers. With-
out careful management, salt
water pushes inland, endanger-
ing the fresh water supplies of
large areas by making the well
water undrinkable.
Droughts, therefore, require
careful management of our re-
maining water supplies for two
important reasons:
• the overall amount of water
available for all needs be-
comes dangerously low; and
• water quality in the under-
ground supply can be dam-
aged by salt water intrusion,
making it unusable.
To complicate matters, during
dry, hot weather, people usually
water their lawns and gardens
more often.
Some utilities are faced with a
doubling in water demand be-
tween November and May, when
water shortages are most likely
to occur. While a significant
portion of this increased demand
can be attributed to the increase
in population from tourists and
seasonal residents, an even
greater percentage is caused
by excessive irrigation practices.
In many communities, some
wasteful landscape irrigators
apply over five inches per week
during the dry season. Unfortu-
nately, this puts added stress
on an already overtaxed water
system.
Water Managers
Check For
Signs of Stress
istrict experts keep a
year -round vigil, track-
ing weather and water
conditions from
Orlando to the Keys. The most
critical time is during the dry
season (November -May), when
rainfall and water reserves are
low, and water use is high.
They watch for several things:
• The level of water stored
in surface water bodies
such as Lake Okeechobee
and the water conservation
areas;
• Water levels in the under-
ground storage areas
(aquifers);
• Rising chloride levels (a
sign of saltwater intrusion);
• Predicted rainfall amounts
for the near future;
• The amount of water being
used compared to the
"normal" for the time of
year;
• Special needs, such as
large amounts of water
required for urban and
agricultural irrigation at
particular times of year.
Conditions are compared with
known patterns regarding rain-
fall, storage and consumption.
Following drought management
guidelines, a SFWMD water
shortage team tracks and reports
on potential problems. If condi-
tions warrant, a shortage is
declared.
How SFWMD Helps
Distribute Water
in a Drought
s the agency responsi-
ble for operating South
Florida's primary canal
network, the SFWMD
has the ability to control the
movement of water throughout
the system, both for water sup-
ply and flood. control purposes.
During a water shortage, the
District operates the regional
system of storage areas and
canals to redistribute available
water.
Because many of the water re-
sources of Florida are intercon-
nected, what happens to one
water supply source, such as an
underground aquifer, invariably
affects another. Likewise, the
interconnecting systems can also
benefit one another.
For example, heavy pumping of
water in one area may cause
nearby salt water from the ocean
to move in, endangering the
local underground freshwater
supply.
To prevent this, the Water Man-
agement District can move water
from another source, such as
Lake Okeechobee or one of the
water conservation areas. Bring-
ing such surface water into the
affected area helps "recharge"
the underground supply.
�i
The Water
Shortage Plan
n an effort to deal with
water shortages in an
organized, efficient
and equitable manner,
the SFWMD drafted the Water
Shortage Plan —a set of guide-
lines for restricting water use
during times of short supply.
The rule, adopted in 1982, is
designed to protect water re-
sources from harm, such as salt
water contamination, and to
assure fair distribution of avail-
able supplies.
Developed with input from local
governments, utilities, agricul-
tural and business interests,
the Water Shortage Plan details
precise water use restrictions
that will be enforced throughout
the 16 counties of the District
whenever water shortage condi-
tions exist. Under the plan, all
users are affected by restrictions,
even those exempt from other
SFWMD permit programs. This
includes private and public
utilities and their water cus-
tomers, as well as people using
private wells. Including every-
one in the plan assures a more
equitable method of distributing
limited water resources during a
shortage.
Water users are listed in two
ways— according to their type of
use (domestic, agricultural,
industrial, etc.) and according
to the source of their water (Lake
Okeechobee, Biscayne Aquifer,
etc.). The plan treats all water
users within the same classifi-
cation and who draw from the
same source in an identical
manner.
Since supply conditions can
vary from region to region, there
may be different levels of re-
strictions from one region to the
next. The level of necessary
restrictions are matched to the
degree of the shortage. As out-
lined in the Water Shortage
Plan, restrictions range from
Phase I (moderate shortage), to
Phase II (severe shortage), Phase
III (extreme shortage) and Phase
IV (critical shortage).

About the Cutbacks ...
What Happens
When We Have
A Water Shortage?
efore any water use
restrictions are im-
posed, there are two
preliminary stages.
The first stage is a "watch;' in
which local water suppliers in
the affected area are alerted
to conditions which may lead to
• shortage. The second stage is
• "warning;' in which the public
and large water users are alerted
and encouraged to engage in
voluntary water conservation
measures. If supply conditions
continue to deteriorate, man-
datory restrictions must be set
in motion.
The water shortage phase deter-
mines the type of restrictions
which will be required in a de-
clared water shortage. Each
phase is correlated to the overall
percentage of water use reduc-
tion needed to protect our water
resources.
Although all water uses are
covered under the plan, the typi-
cal homeowner will be most
affected by outside water use
restrictions. It is estimated that
half of the water consumed in
South Florida is used for irriga-
tion purposes.
The four phases of the Water
Shortage Plan include the fol-
lowing restrictions:
• Under Phase I, lawn and
landscape irrigation for tracts
under five acres is limited to
three specific time periods a
week: Mondays, Wednesdays
and Saturdays from 4 -8 a.m. for
homes with odd addresses, and
the same hours on Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Sundays for even
addresses. Non - commercial car -
washing is allowed only during
the same hours.
• Phase II hours are from 4 -8
a.m. on two days: Wednesdays
and Saturdays for odd addresses,
and the same hours on Thursdays
and Sundays for even addresses.
• Phase III permits lawn water-
ing during a three -hour period
on a weekly basis: from 4 -7 a.m.
on Saturdays for odd addresses
and the same hours on Sunday
for even addresses.
• Phase IV limits irrigation to
one hour per week: 6 -7 a.m. on
Saturdays for odd addresses
and the same hour on Sunday
for even addresses.
Tracts under five acres with no
address follow the same schedule
as even numbered addresses.
If the shortage becomes so criti-
cal that an even larger reduc-
tion in water use is necessary,
another phase is declared where
all outside water use is pro-
hibited. Additional restrictions
may be imposed by the District's
Governing Board.
Other categories of users have
similar phased cutbacks. Golf
courses, for example, are limited
to night time watering three
days per week on fairways dur-
ing Phase I, and are cut back to
one day per week at night in
Phase IV.
In addition to the specific re-
strictions outlined in the Water
Shortage Plan, wasteful and
unnecessary water use is pro-
hibited regardless of the phase
of water shortage.
How Will People
Know What To Do?
uring a water shortage,
communication is vital.
A number of actions
will be taken to alert
the public if the District declares
a water shortage emergency.
These actions will range from
stories on local radio and tele-
vision stations and in news-
papers, to notifications sent to
water management district per-
mit holders.
In the early "watch" and "warn-
ing" stages, news releases will
be sent to media in the affected
areas, presenting the informa-
tion in easily understandable
terms. Local authorities will
receive advisories as to the
status of the situation, and a
legal notice will be published in
newspapers in the area affected,
stating the precise wording of
the declaration.
In addition to contacting local
elected officials, SFWMD also
will notify local law enforce-
ment officials of any water
shortage emergency declaration
or change affecting their areas
of responsibility.
The District works closely with
local water suppliers, user
groups, governments and law
enforcement agencies to coordi-
nate activities and to avoid any
confusion on the part of the
public or other agencies.

What About
People Who Don't
Cooperate?
bile experience
has shown that
most residents
in South Florida
do their part by following water
use restrictions when necessary,
provisions are in place to enforce
the restrictions for people who
disregard the state mandated
rules.
During a declared water short-
age, all law enforcement officials
throughout the District's 16-
county jurisdiction are em-
powered to issue citations for
failure to comply with the plan's
water use restrictions. Viola-
tions are considered misde-
meanors. Violators will get one
warning, after which they are
subject to prosecution under
state procedures.
Many communities have passed
ordinances which adopt the
restrictions as local law, enabling
area police and sheriffs' officers
to enforce them at the local level.
Questions and
Answers About The
Water - Shortage Plan
A water shortage exists when
there is not enough water avail-
able to meet current or projected
needs, resulting in the need to
temporarily reduce total use
within an area to protect the
water resource and users from
potential harm.
Florida's rapid population
growth and economic expansion
are major causes. Since 1970,
our population has grown at the
rate of about 800 new residents
per day; by the year 2000,
Florida is expected to become
the third most populous state
in the U.S. Over 80 percent of
South Florida's future growth
is expected to take place in
coastal areas which are already
stressed by the threat of salt
water intrusion into public
water supply wellfields. This
impact has begun to jeopardize
the availability of high quality,
inexpensive water.
Factors include: potential for
salt water intrusion or other
groundwater contamination; po-
tential for irreversible adverse
impact on fish and wildlife; and,
potential for extreme shortages
in the future if we don't cut back
at more moderate levels over a
longer period of time.
Until sufficient water is avail-
able to meet all current and
projected demands and the order
is modified or rescinded by the
District Governing Board.
State legislation authorizes local
law enforcement officials to
assist the District in enforcing
water shortage restrictions.
Warnings and citations will be
issued, and violators are subject
to prosecution under state and /or
local misdemeanor procedures.
Yes. Water shortages are a fact
of life in South Florida and al-
though the population has grown,
our water supplies haven't. The
plan creates an equitable means
of sharing the water shortage
burden, and for that reason, the
State of Florida mandated that
the District have a Water Short-
age Plan.
The Water Shortage Plan applies
to all water users, including
people receiving water from a
public or private utility, or draw-
ing from a private well. Priority
uses that pertain to health, safety
and sanitation are not restricted
in most instances. The rule does
not apply to users whose sole
source of irrigation water is
treated wastewater effluent or
an unaffected source such as
brackish or seawater. Variances
may be requested for special
circumstances, but must be ap-
proved by the District Govern-
ing Board.
Water users are categorized in
the plan according to type of use
and source of supply. The plan
has a detailed chart describing
the water use classes and phases
of restrictions, as well as a map
outlining water use basins
throughout the District. By
comparing water use source and
location, the user can find which
restrictions apply.
The plan describes four water
shortage phases: I— moderate,
II— severe, III — extreme, and
IV— critical. Each phase re-
quires an increasingly larger
reduction in water use.
Yes. Because the District in-
cludes such a large land area,
the plan divides the District into
water use basins. A water short-
age could be declared for one or
any number of basins. Some
basins may be declared to be in
a moderate phase shortage while
others are experiencing severe
or critical shortages.
Water Shortage Plan restrictions
supercede all local ordinances
whenever a water shortage has
been declared by the SFWMD.
However, circumstances some-
times dictate that a local water
utility activate restrictions
which apply only to the cus-
tomers in its specific service
area in order to reduce demand
on the delivery system. Such
localized situations are deter-
mined by the municipality over-
seeing the affected utility — not
by the SFWMD.
How To Stretch
Your Water To Make
Every Drop Count!!!
ltering your personal
water use habits by
eliminating wasteful
practices doesn't re-
quire a drastic change in your
lifestyle. Water conservation is
the smart thing to do year- round.
It not only helps protect and
preserve the resource —it saves
money, too. However, water con-
servation is especially important
during times of shortage. Here
are some tips to help drought -
condition your lawn, and ways to
help you meet cutback require-
ments in the event a water short-
age is declared.

Outdoor Savings
• Install automatic timers on
your sprinkler system; set
the sprinklers to go only
during permitted days and
hours. During non - restricted
periods, sprinkle only in
early morning hours to re-
duce loss from wind and heat,
and only when the plants
show signs of stress. And
most importantly, remember
to turn automatic sprinklers
off when it's raining!
• During a shortage, avoid
using fertilizer because it
increases a plant's need for
water. Plants can normally
survive without fertilizer
until the drought is over.
• Don't water plants that
don't need it — if a plant is
a native or is drought tolerant
it can survive the dry spells
without water.
• Consider installing "low
volume irrigation" systems —
they minimize evaporation
and only put the water where
it is needed.
• Adopt Xeriscape princi-
ples: limit your grassy areas,
and choose plants that re-
quire little irrigation and
are resistant to drought for
landscaping.
Indoor Savings
• Washing machines use
between 45 and 60 gallons
of water per load. If your
washer has a variable load
control, always adjust water
levels to the lowest practical
setting.
• Always wash full loads in
your dishwasher; the machine
automatically uses the same
amount of water, full or not.
• Take shorter showers and
install low -flow shower heads
which can cut water con-
sumption in half.

• Turn off the water while
brushing your teeth or wash-
ing your hands.
• Don't flush the toilet need-
lessly... every flush is up to
seven gallons down the drain.
• Check for leaks in faucets,
toilets and pipes; a simple
repair may save thousands of
gallons per month... And
here's something you should
know about plumbing leaks.
If you have leaks the size
