Tier 2 water restrictions will be in place for Bullhead City starting Jan. 1.

The city’s code enforcement group will monitor water use activity.

Mark Clark, Bullhead City’s utilities director, says the city has made sure to keep its residents informed about the ongoing water shortage.

“The amount that we’ve been spending on water conservation is significant to our budget, but living here on the Colorado River, we see the water going by us,” Clark said. “And we’re very conscious of being water conscious.”

Some of the restrictions mean residents won’t be allowed to use water systems that don’t have an automatic shut-off mechanism or let water run into the street.

The following activities are prohibited during the Tier 2 restrictions:

  • Allowing waste of water caused by correctable leaks, breaks, or malfunctions that are not fixed within seventy-two hours of notice of failure or malfunction by phone or personal notice, or within seven days of the issuance of the notice of violation if the account holder is not contacted otherwise.
  • Use of water to hose/wash buildings or impervious surfaces at any time.
  • Use of water to wash motor vehicles and watercraft without a positive or automatic shut-off nozzle.
  • Operation of decorative fountains without recirculating systems.
  • Operation of outdoor misting systems used to cool public areas.
