<br />Phases II, III and IV. For the average person, the major difference
<br />in the phases is the number of days and hours that water may be
<br />used outside the home. Residential/Community irrigation hours:
<br />Phase II, two days per week for 4 hours; Phase III, one day for
<br />three hours; Phase IV, one day for one hour; and, in more severe
<br />conditions, the District may restrict all outside watering.
