Report water waste

To report water waste in the CMWD service area, call 442-339-2722 or email water@carlsbadca.gov. Report any observed over-watering, sprinkler overspray or other violations with as much detail as possible, including street address and time of day.

Many parks, street medians and homeowners’ association landscaped areas are irrigated with recycled water, a drought proof supply that is not subject to current water use restrictions.
