The Coastside County Water District declared a water-shortage emergency Thursday, bringing back some water-use restrictions for the approximately 19,000 customers it serves in Half Moon Bay, El Granada, Princeton, and Miramar.
“We are going into a third consecutive year of drought,” said Cathleen Brennan, a water resource analyst with the CCWD. “The CCWD does have local sources, but they are impacted by the drought, and we rely on purchases from SFPUC to serve our community. When SFPUC declared a water shortage emergency and gave us an allocation, that prompted us to declare a water shortage emergency and mandate certain water use restrictions so we could try to meet that allocation.

6. The application of water to Irrigate turf and ornamental landscapes during and within 48 hours after measurable rainfall of at least one fourth of one inch of rain. In determining whether measurable rainfall of at least one fourth of one inch of rain occurred in a given area, enforcement may be based on records of the National Weather Service, the closest CIMIS station to the parcel, or any other reliable source of rainfall data available to the District.
