5. If the prohibition only applies to potable water, what is potable water?

The prohibition only applies to CVWD customers that receive potable water through the domestic water system. Therefore, non-functional turf irrigated by private wells, recycled water, or canal water are not impacted by the State’s emergency regulation, or CVWD Resolution 2022-27. However, all customers, regardless of water source, are encouraged to conserve 15% based on their 2020 consumption.
