California to impose permanent water restrictions on cities and towns
July 8, 2024
California will impose permanent water restrictions for the first time in history after the state’s Water Resources Control Board approved a long-debated policy.
The policy, dubbed Making Conservation a California Way of Life, is intended to permanently decrease statewide water use so that water reductions during droughts aren’t as severe. The new policy was prompted by legislation signed by former Gov. Jerry Brown in 2018.
