How much are the fines for watering on the wrong day or overwatering?
Water providers, not the city, have the authority to impose fines. Generally, fines will not be assessed before a warning letter is sent. So customers will have an opportunity to meet compliance requirements.

However, failure to do so could result in fines of up to $500 a day. Water providers can also shut off or restrict your water service.
