The Santa Cruz City Council adopted a Stage 1 Water Shortage Alert last month which takes effect today, and will be stressed until October 31st. Below normal rainfall and runoff, coupled with water supply needs for fish habitat, have reduced the amount of water available for city of Santa Cruz water customers. During water shortages, customers are restricted from landscape watering between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. hoses must have nozzles, and restaurants and hotels are required to provide drinking water only upon request.
