Water restrictions in Pico Rivera, CA — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
The city-run Pico Rivera Water Authority declared a Stage 2 shortage with mandatory limits: a one-day winter schedule Nov 1-Mar 31 (even addresses Tuesday, odd addresses Thursday, ~5 minutes per station) and no weekend irrigation. Pico Water District and San Gabriel Valley Water Company customers follow separate rules.
Pico Rivera is served by more than one water provider, so restrictions depend on your provider. The City operates the Pico Rivera Water Authority, which declared a STAGE 2 (Level 2) WATER SUPPLY SHORTAGE with mandatory restrictions for its customers. From April 1 through October, a two-day schedule allowed even addresses to water Monday/Wednesday and odd addresses Tuesday/Thursday; from November 1 through March 31 a one-day schedule takes effect, with even addresses watering Tuesday and odd addresses Thursday, kept to approximately five minutes per station. Sprinklers should run before 8:00 a.m. or after 7:00 p.m. to limit evaporation, and weekend irrigation is prohibited. The Stage 2 mandates also cover pools and spas: pools/spas may only be refilled for water lost
The mandatory measures are enforced by the Pico Rivera Water Authority for its customers; the City encourages residents to report excessive runoff and broken sprinkler heads via the city service-request form or 562-801-4415. Water-waste complaints statewide can be filed anonymously
