The Mariposa Public Utility District can meet the near-term water supply needs of local residents and  businesses.    Local residences and businesses are asked to "Stress Your Lawn and Save Your Trees" by  reducing sprinklers by two minutes each cycle while continuing to water your trees.  Large scale turf  irrigation should be reduced by 15% when compared to 2020 water usage.   Please continue to conserve  water.  Wasteful water uses include: 

• The use of potable water for washing sidewalks, driveways, buildings, or other hard-surfaced areas,  except in cases where health and safety are at risk. 

• The use of potable water that results in flooding or runoff in gutters or streets. 

• The use of potable water, except with the use of a positive shut-off nozzle, for the individual private  washing of motor vehicles. 

• The use of water to irrigate turf and ornamental landscapes during and within 48 hours after  measurable rainfall.
