Water Supply Shortage Hits Long Beach, California
LONG BEACH, California, September 14, 2007 (ENS)

A water supply shortage is "imminent," the Long Beach Water Board warned Thursday, under a formal declaration that activates the city's Emergency Water Supply Shortage Plan.

As of Thursday, Long Beach residents and businesses can no longer irrigate any landscape with potable drinking quality water during daylight hours or more than three days a week.

Neither can they wash driveways, sidewalks, parking areas, patios or other outdoor cemented or paved areas with a garden hose, unless it is attached to pressurized water broom.

In addition to eliminating landscape over-watering and all water run-off, residents are instructed to immediately reduce time in the shower, install low-flow shower heads, and check water meters for potential leaks.
