The State Resources Control Board announced Tuesday it will consider new water conservation efforts to combat the drought.
The decision comes one day after Gov. Gavin Newsom warned California might have to enact mandatory water-use restrictions as the drought gets worse.
On Friday, Mayor Eric Garcetti met with California Natural Resources Agency Secretary Wade Crowfoot to highlight the need to protect the region's trees, even with water restrictions, amid the historic drought. The Department of Public Works gave tips to Angelenos to protect their trees, noting that they provide extensive benefits to health and quality of life.
The board is scheduled to vote on a statewide ban on watering non-functional turf at institutional, industrial and commercial locations.
