You can also find out which level is in effect in your district by calling your Water District office(varies by address):

Why do we need Levels?
To ensure adequate pressure and fire protection, storage tanks must be 3/4 full. If this amount cannot be replenished during non-watering times more restrictive hours must be established by going up a level.
