Statistics show Nevada County water users have done a good job cutting back during the drought, but water restrictions are now mandatory. As part of a state requirement, Nevada City will announce restrictions at the City Council meeting tonight. Users face a fine of up to 500 dollars if they don’t comply, but Nevada City City Manager Mark Prestwich says that’s not what this is about…
State regulations mean you can only water twice a week. Runoff from properties is also limited and you are required to use a shut-off nozzle on hoses. Prestwich says most area residents are doing these things anyway…
The Grass Valley City Council adopted similar measures at their meeting last night.
