Mandatory Water Use Reductions
State mandate is effective June 2015 thru February 2016
Based on per capita consumption, State Water Board assigned each utility a annual reduction target ranging between 4% and 36%
Our annual reduction target is 8% (as compared to our 2013 usage)
We reduced usage in 2014 but still need additional conservation to achieve 8% target
We submitted our 4-stage plan to comply effective June 22, 2015
