City leaders did not immediately return phone calls, but the water department’s website said the city was working to conserve water, recently declaring a “Stage 2″ water shortage and putting in place restrictions on outdoor water use.

Never noticed anyone showering at the beach other than to wash the sand off their feet or their board.
