California water board calls February conservation worst yet
The State Water Resources Control Board said February was the worst month for water savings since tracking began nine months ago. statewide reductions were just 3 percent versus baseline, despite the driest January on record, fueling Gov. Brown to push for a 25 percent urban cut. Local leaders report hotter temps and mixed results, with Bay Area down 8 percent and south coast up 2 percent. Newport Beach faces potential fines as it tightens rules, while regulators map mandatory targets and enforcement. Metropolitan Water District plans a next week vote on a plan to ration deliveries to 26 agencies and cities.
