Dry summer and fall could lead to water rationing in spring
There is a possibility that residents of Santa Cruz could be asked to ration water usage in the spring after dry summer and fall seasons. Santa Cruz Water Director Rosemary Menard gave a preliminary presentation of the city’s water outlook to the City Council on Tuesday, shortly after the second half of the wet season began. The presentation evaluated four factors to project what the city’s water outlook will look like and whether residents will need to ration water as the dry season approaches.
