Modifications to Water Conservation Measures Beginning November 1, 2009

The City of San Diego has updated its mandatory water conservation requirements, effective November 1, 2009, as part of a Level 2 Drought Alert Condition. These updated water conservation measures include two significant changes - the hours and length of time you can water. Specifically, the time has changed so that you may water after 4pm (rather than 6pm) to accomodate the end of daylight savings time. In addition, the length of time you may water has been reduced from 10 minutes to 7 minutes. The watering days have not changed. To summarize:

Limit the watering of lawns and landscapes to three days per week from November 1 through May 31. Those days are:
- Even numbered addresses: Sat., Mon., Wed.
- Odd numbered addresses: Sun., Tues., Thur.
- Apartments, Condos, Businesses: Mon., Wed., Fri.
- On your watering day, you may only water before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m.

Landscape irrigation using sprinklers is limited to seven minutes per watering station per assigned day (does not apply to drip, micro-irrigation, stream rotor, rotary heads, hose end sprinklers with timers or valves operated by a weather-based irrigation controller).

Vision for Clairemont
For the past few years, a task force under the direction of the Clairemont Community Planning Group (CCPG) has been developing a "vision" for Clairemont. The task force believes that because Clairemont's Community Plan is more than ten years old, it no longer adequately addresses the changing environment in which we live.

Even though the City of San Diego has recently adopted an updated General Plan and begun the process of revising its community plans across the City, there is currently no timeline for updating the Clairemont Community Plan. Therefore, the CCPG thought that it would be important to have some common interest guidelines in place to follow until such time as the Community Plan is updated.

This is a grass roots effort and has no official standing. However, the Vision's goal is to reflect the community's desires and will assist the City when the Clairemont Community Plan is revised.

The CCPG is requesting input from the community at large, and more specifically, they are requesting public input at its monthly meeting on July 21, 2009. The Committee meets at LiveWell San Diego, located at the North Clairemont Recreation Center at 4421 Bannock Avenue in Clairemont. Please review the draft of the Clairemont Vision Statement and come to the meeting to share your thoughts.
