June marked the first month of mandatory cutbacks during California's drought
California water use dropped by 27 percent in June, the first month of mandatory cutbacks during the drought.
The announcement from state regulators comes after the state's largest cities already announced they met or exceeded mandatory conservation targets provided by the state. Data released by the State Water Resources Control Board shows 265 of the 411 local agencies in the state hit or nearly reached the savings targets implemented after Gov. Jerry Brown ordered an overall 25 percent savings.
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, the state's largest agency serving 4 million people, said it met its 16 percent savings target. Utilities serving San Diego, San Jose and San Francisco said savings far exceeded the goals from the state.

“50% is USED for the Delta Smelt (2 quarters)”
Which is it? Wasted OR used?
Just in LA for 3 days. No sign or care for the drought there. Back home in the Bay Area all of our lawns are dying and my water bill has doubled.
At least we do have rain. How long has your drought lasted? 2, 3 years?
But they still don’t get after all the illegal aliens who are living 20 to a house.
Yet another strain on our infrastructure by illegal’s.
CA school’s are 9th worst in the Country.
Anyone want to guess why?
And some are now talking about segregating school’s so illegal’s and their children can be better educated.
The libs and their social experiments keep sending our Country into a decline.
Everyone on our street has pools so everyone is more or less letting their front lawns go brown and taking care of the back.
That point was far from clear in the original article....but thank you.
At the same time, I cannot imagine reducing my water usage by 25%. The only way I see that happening is if the number of people decreased.
Both!
