Folsom Declares Stage 2 Water Alert, Restrictions

FOLSOM (CBS13) ― Facing drought conditions, the city of Folsom has declared a Stage 2 Water Alert and imposed mandatory water use restrictions.

The move comes after the Bureau of Reclamation cut water deliveries to Folsom by 25%.

The city is asking residents to cut water use by 20% by watering their yards on alternate days, using automated sprinklers during specific times and avoid over-watering.  The mandatory restrictions take effect September 5 for both homes and businesses. 

"We are hoping that residents will recognize the seriousness of the drought and comply voluntarily," said Folsom City Manager Kerry Miller said in a statement released today.

Folsom residents can schedule a free Water Wise house call or report water waste problems by calling 355-7252. 

In June, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a statewide drought – the first such declaration since 1991.
