Water restrictions in Jurupa Valley, CA — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Most of Jurupa Valley is served by the Jurupa Community Services District (JCSD), which is currently at Drought Response Level 1 — Drought Watch under Resolution No. 3283 (adopted April 24, 2023). Parts of the city served by Western Municipal Water District (WMWD) sit under WMWD's Stage 1 of its Water Shortage Contingency Plan (Resolution 3206). Both agencies also enforce permanent prohibitions on water waste under California Water Code §996 and the State Water Resources Control Board's emergency conservation regulations.
JCSD's current status is Drought Response Level 1 (voluntary conservation), but the District retains the authority to escalate to Level 2 — Drought Alert, which would cap ornamental landscape and turf irrigation at 4 days/week, no more than 10 minutes per station per day, and only between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. JCSD has also adopted board rules under California Water Code §996 (effective Sept. 26, 2022) prohibiting drought-wasteful water uses, including irrigating non-functional turf at commercial, industrial, and institutional sites — paralleling the statewide State Water Board emergency regulation. WMWD's Stage 1 restrictions require leaks and broken sprinklers to be repaired within 96 hours of notification, restrict commercial/landscape irrigation to 8 p.m.–6 a.m., and prohibit watering during or within 48 hours of measurable rain. Statewide, Cal. Water Code §10632 (Urban Water Management Planning Act) and the State Water Board's emergency conservation regulations also apply. AB 1572 (Stats. 2023, ch. 254) will phase out the use of potable water on non-functional turf at non-residential sites (Jan. 1, 2028 for commercial/industrial/institutional; Jan. 1, 2029 for HOA common areas).
Both JCSD and WMWD use a tiered enforcement model — courtesy notice, written warning, then escalating monetary penalties added to the water bill. Repeated violations can lead to flow restrictors or service termination. State Water Board emergency-regulation violations can carry administrative civil liability of up to $500 per day.
