As of 2016, California continues to face the worst drought in its recorded history. All water districts are rationing water, with steep surcharges for exceeding the limit.

- Community water conservation and maintenance supervisor training
- Resident water conservation & community manager action items

They will then train other maintenance supervisors and landscapers in their groups. Each maintenance supervisor will conduct biweekly walks and ensure compliance by completing the Water Conservation Program Checklist:
