As California lifts water restrictions, what are the watering rules in Sacramento?
California is easing its drought restrictions after the state became soaked with several storms in recent months. During a visit in Yolo County on Friday, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the state is changing its drought restrictions and water conversation plans. However, the governor said the state drought emergency proclamation won’t be lifted, although, half of the state is no longer in drought conditions, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. One of the restrictions Newsom announced will be lifted is the state’s 15% voluntary reduction in water use. With the statewide mandate ending, local water agencies and governments, such as cities and counties, can implement their own water restrictions.
