Fountain Valley adopts resolution declaring end to water supply shortage
Fountain Valley has declared an end to a water supply shortage it had been observing for the past 11 months. The City Council, at its May 2 meeting, voted unanimously to adopt a resolution restoring the normal water supply conditions for the community. Gov. Gavin Newsom had declared a state of emergency concerning drought for all of California on Oct. 19, 2021. The California State Water Resources Control Board subsequently implemented emergency measures on May 24, 2022, including required water supply and demand assessments, implementation of water use reduction measures, and a prohibition on the use of potable water to irrigate nonfunctional turf at commercial, industrial and institutional facilities.
