Water officials turn up the heat on conservation measures
Despite the pre-Halloween “atmospheric river” that dumped nearly 8 trillion gallons of rain in Northern and Central California, reservoirs feeding the Las Virgenes Municipal Water District saw relatively little precipitation. Local communities got less than 1 inch. As the state endures a second year of a drought that’s brought below average snowpack, record high temperatures and lower than expected runoff, the water district has put a call out to its 75,000 customers telling them they’ll have to do more with less.
