Summary
Starting June 1, the local agencies must limit lawn watering to one day per week, set volumetric limits on water use or face fines.In the meeting, District General Manager Adel Hagekhalil said he told Newsom it would help if some of the state money for conservation could be used to help local districts step up enforcement to curb water waste.“I appreciate that (Newsom) really wants to work with us,” Hagekhalil said.During the last drought, in 2015 former Gov. Jerry Brown issued a mandatory 25% cut in the state's overall water use, and the state water board set requirements for how much each water district had to cut based on their existing use; districts with higher water use were asked to cut more.
