Water restrictions rolled back

Governor Newsom announced that he’s ending the call for a statewide voluntary 15% reduction in water use in place since July 2021.

Meanwhile, local water agencies that were expecting just 35% of requested supplies from the state are now on tap to get 75%.

The 3.1 million acre-feet of water that will provide equates to more than double the original projection of 1.4 million acre-feet.

*In case you’re wondering, an acre-foot is about 326,000 gallons!
