Report Excessive Water Usage
In 2009, the Torrance City Council adopted a Water Conservation Ordinance (Ordinance 3717) to prohibit wasteful uses of water, place certain restrictions on water use and encourage sustained conservation. The Ordinance has four stages (Permanent Baseline Measured, Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 Stages), which are enacted in response to the water supply conditions. The Conservation Ordinance applies to the entire City regardless of retail water supplier.
Current Level: Level 1

California is in the midst of a third consecutive drought year and it is our responsibility to use water as efficiently as possible. Although water is a renewable resource, it is limited, particularly in semi-arid areas like residential neighborhoods in Southern California. You can do your part by practicing proven conservation practices and avoiding wasteful water use practices, which are prohibited by the City of Torrance Water Conservation Ordinance at all times.
