The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California issued SoCal's first widespread water restrictions during the current extreme drought.
brings water to about 19 million people in sections of Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura counties. The new restrictions will impact about 6 million of those people specifically in Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and Ventura counties, said, the chair of the Metropolitan Water District Board of Directors in Wednesday’s media briefing.
The board’s new requirements specifically state that affected municipalities must either limit peoples’ outdoor watering to one day per week or directly find other ways to equivalently reduce. “The amount of water we have available to us now is not going to be enough to carry us through the entire year unless we do something different, unless we take action,” he added. If municipalities don’t cut their use and abide by the new restrictions, they’ll face fines.
