New statewide drought emergency water conservation regulations in place

California recently approved new emergency water conservation measures to stretch and manage water supplies during continued drought conditions.

Although California received record rainfall and snowfall to close 2021, we still only have 58% of the precipitation needed for the year. Also, not all reservoirs have rebounded and are still lower than needed as we approach the summer months.

As a result, these mandates are effective mid-January for one year unless extended by the State.
