How much are the fines for sprinkling violations?
The fines are $25 for the first citation in a twelve-month period, and $50 for the second. A third violation will result in a traffic-court appearance, where a judge will determine the fine. Q: Can I receive a citation if my children are playing in the sprinkler? A: Recreational use of sprinklers is always allowed. However, the water must be turned off when children are not present. Sprinklers left running without recreational users present are subject to the regular restrictions of the Water Conservation ordinance.
