Here’s how much water Bay Area districts saved in the past year
Bay Area water agencies have saved nearly 10 times more water than the state average in the past year. Collectively, 58 Bay Area water districts saved an average of more than 10% in July 2021 compared with the same time last year, according to new statistics from the State Water Resources Control Board. That still falls short of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s call for 15% savings as the state battles another crippling drought. Though Bay Area agencies generally outperformed South Coast-area districts in water use reduction, some saved much more than others.
