The way the water district has put it, if we do not see a significant improvement in the rainfall, we do expect to hit stage four.

We're asking for voluntarily conservation of water and to not plant any new landscaping until the drought passes.

Our feeling is that I want to warn people before I do it [raise water rates]. It's just good customer service.

Don't water all the grass. Just soak around the tree, foundation.

It's really difficult to say (if we'll hit Stage 4), but the rainfall that will keep us from going to Stage 4 has not happened yet. The lake didn't go up very much from the rain we had last weekend.

We gave out $75,000 last year in rebates. We budgeted $10,000 more this year.
