Updates from The Office

We’re into the second month of the new year and so much has happened. Here are a few highlights.

Office re-opened to foot traffic:
Due to illnesses in the office, we had temporarily closed the office to foot traffic. We are happy to announce that we are fully open once again. We ask that you wear a mask when in the building and if someone is already at our counter that you respectfully wait outside to limit the number of people inside.

Stage II Water Conservation:
As of Tuesday, February 1, 2022 Pine Cove entered into Stage II of Water Conservation.

Stage II is mandatory compliance.
Customers are required to limit irrigation of outdoor plants and gardens to the period between 6pm and 8am daily and stop all water runoff. Customers cannot fill or refill swimming pools except the small amount needed to replace evaporation in already filled pools. Vehicles can only be washed using a bucket and a hose with a shut-off nozzle. Immediate repairs must be made to any and all leaking water lines and faucets in household plumbing and yard piping. Customers must also cease watering native vegetation and unplanted areas for dust control. Restaurants shall only provide drinking water to patrons upon specific request.

If you have any questions or concerns, you may talk to General Manager Jeremy Potter 951-659-2675 or email at jpotter@pcwd.org.
Thank you for your understanding and ongoing efforts to help conserve water.
