California New Law Prohibiting Watering Commercial Property Grass Kicks in Jan. 1, 2028

You can use well water, non-potable water, or recycled water, and starting January 1, 2027, state and local government properties and public agencies are prohibited from watering grass at their properties with potable water. Sports fields, parks, and cemeteries are exempt. Starting January 1, 2028 commercial, industrial, and institutional properties are included and January 1, 2029, HOA’s are added to this list. Single00family residential properties are not included. If you live in another state and are laughing at California for passing these regulations, remember that usually we are ahead of the curve and your turn will probably be on the horizon.
