Hayward's Indoor Water Use Efficiency Ordinance was repealed by Council on December 13, 2016 due to the more stringent water efficiency standards included in the 2016 California Building Code, which took effect on January 1, 2017. Hayward's Nonessential Water Use Ordinance was amended by Council on June 6, 2017 to permanently prohibit wasteful water practices consistent with State water conservation regulations.
