Reduced watering, drought surcharges becoming more common after Gov. Gavin Newsom’s order
Three weeks after Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered increased water conservation due to the state’s worsening drought, a growing number of water agencies around the Bay Area are putting in place new rules that haven’t been seen since the middle of California’s last drought six years ago.
“It’s all about getting through the summer and making sure we are in as good a place as we can be in case next year is dry,” said Andrea Pook, an East Bay MUD spokeswoman. Around the Bay Area and the state, cities and water districts are similarly tightening rules following Newsom’s order on March 28.
Newsom last month also ordered the State Water Resources Control Board to draft rules that will prohibit large commercial businesses and industrial sites statewide from watering grass on their properties.
