In Southern California, more than half of our urban water supply is used to irrigate landscapes. One of the best ways to conserve our limited resources is to make these landscapes water-efficient.
State law (Assembly Bill 1881) required that cities and counties update their water efficient landscape ordinances by January 1, 2010. In response, the city adopted a landscape water efficiency ordinance as the new Chapter 10.19 of the Anaheim Municipal Code.
The Anaheim Guidelines provide landscape design parameters and specifications for residents, landscape professionals, developers, and contractors to follow when planning landscape projects in the city.
