Former Colorado Springs Utilities CEO Aram Benyamin will become chief operating officer for Los Angeles Department of Water & Power, the department confirmed.
Effective Wednesday, outdoor watering is restricted to two days per week with watering permitted at odd-numbered street addresses on Mondays and Fridays, and at even-numbered addresses on Thursdays and Sundays. All watering will have to be done in the evening or early morning, with no watering permitted outdoors between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Watering restrictions throughout Southern California go into effect Wednesday, June 1.
People in the city of Los Angeles will be limited to two-day per week outdoor watering schedules starting Wednesday based on street addresses as part of an effort to conserve water amid a historic drought.
The restrictions, approved by a 13-0 vote, are more lenient than the one-day limit ordered earlier by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California for areas that are dependent on water from the State Water Project.
