TIME TO TURN OFF YOUR IRRIGATION
With lower temperatures and occasional rain, we encourage you to turn off your irrigation
system and water only when needed. As outlined in the Petaluma Municipal Code (Section 15.17.070), it is prohibited to irrigate landscape during and within 48 hours after measurable rainfall. Thank you for doing your part to use water efficiently!
