Water restrictions in Redondo Beach, CA — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Redondo Beach water is supplied by California Water Service (Cal Water), and outdoor irrigation follows Cal Water and West Basin rules, including a two-day-per-week standard and no daytime watering during the 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. window.
Redondo Beach does not run its own retail water utility; California Water Service (Cal Water) Hermosa-Redondo District is the purveyor, supplied wholesale through West Basin Municipal Water District. West Basin's board adopted a uniform two-day-per-week outdoor watering standard (2022), and Cal Water's conservation rules prohibit irrigation between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., bar runoff onto pavement, and require fixing leaks. Specific assigned watering days vary by address and the active drought stage, so residents should confirm their schedule directly with Cal Water. State law also permanently bans wasteful practices such as hosing down driveways and watering during or shortly after measurable rain.
Cal Water can issue conservation notices and escalating penalties for watering on prohibited days or hours, causing runoff, or other wasteful use; the City supports enforcement via West Basin programs.
