South OC water agencies meet December use-cut targets
El Toro Water District and San Clemente surpassed their 24 percent December targets, while most South County agencies fell short. State Board data show El Toro at 27.4 percent cut and San Clemente at 25.6 percent, as Gov. Brown’s 25 percent statewide target governs June 2015 to February 2013 benchmarks. Other agencies posted smaller reductions, with notable figures from South Coast Water District, San Juan Capistrano, Moulton Niguel, and Laguna Beach County Water District. El Toro credits a $35 million recycled water expansion for lower potable-use.
