California is falling short of water conservation goals and Gov. Gavin Newsom has warned that mandatory statewide restrictions may be on the way.
Marin County residents conserved 25% more in June compared to the same month in 2020, far exceeding the state goal of 15%.
"We took our lawn out by hand with picks and shovels and got some dirt hauled away and just put some rock down," Wafer said."Any little change you make will add up. Just get used to it because there's a lot of water on the planet but not a lot of usable water." In the East Bay, water conservation efforts got off to a slow start early this year but saw big gains in June.
"At this point, it's a matter of getting through this hot summer in a way that is smart about how we use that water supply," said Andrea Pook, an EBMUD spokesperson.
