Did you get a letter from your water supplier on emergency drought regulations?

Most, if not all, suppliers are restricting watering of landscaping to one to two days a week.

The watering limits come from the California statewide restrictions on water usage due to the drought.

If you have implemented River-Friendly Landscaping, you will be able to maintain your yard within the watering restrictions.

No River-Friendly Landscaping yet? We still have $1,000 rebates available for those who complete the recommendations from the site evaluations. Contact Erin for more information.

The Truckee River is precious – every single drop – and we are thankful to the many people who are using it wisely and protecting it by installing their River-Friendly Landscaping.
