Pasadena's lush green lawns and gardens will have to make do with a little less water, as a one-day-a-week outdoor watering schedule went into effect today.
. Pasadena spokeswoman Lisa Derderian acknowledged that even with the new one-day-a-week schedule in effect, residents are still being asked to comply with the outdoor watering shutdown that begins Tuesday, Sept. 6.
Four million people are being asked to stop watering outdoors starting Tuesday so the 36-mile Upper Feeder pipeline that delivers Colorado River water into Southern California can undergo critical repairs. The pipeline will be shut down and the outdoor water ban is expected to last through Sept. 20. To prepare for the outdoor watering ban, Metropolitan Water District officials say the last day residents can deep-water trees and shrubs is Monday, Sept. 5, soaking the water to a depth of 8 to 12 inches. During the outdoor watering ban, residents can also add mulch around their trees for added moisture retention, shade plants with a sun cloth, canopy tent or umbrellas, and stop mowing their lawns.Thanks for reading CBS NEWS.
