The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission is urging nearly 3 million water customers throughout the Bay Area to cut water usage by 10%, as it declares a water shortage emergency due to the ongoing drought. … By declaring the emergency, the agency would be able to access water reserves and resources only available during emergencies, officials said. Under the measure, customers are urged to reduce water usage by 10% compared to 2019-2020 levels…. Along with providing water to San Francisco, the agency also has customers in portions of Alameda, Santa Clara and San Mateo counties.
