Just in time for hot summer days, the Yorba Linda Water District is easing up on watering restrictions.

State officials have scraped the emergency conservation mandates that had forced the district to cut water use by 36 percent. For months, customers have faced unprecedented restrictions and “administrative penalties” for over use. In response to the state’s step back, the district is allowing customers to increase watering from two to three days a week. Filling swimming pools will no longer be prohibited, district spokesman Damon Micalizzi said.
