With Southern California continuing to grow and limited water resources, it is more important than ever to conserve the large amount of water normally used to maintain grass lawns. You can help be a part of the solution by replacing your grass areas to landscape designs and plants that require less water. Residents are encouraged to view this video to learn more about water smart landscapes.

A number of resources, tools, and landscaping tips are available to assist residents and businesses in transitioning from lawn to drought-tolerant garden. Information about the City's current water regulations, as well as sample designs and gardening resources are available in the "Quick Links" box to the right.
