DROUGHT: Experts: Why California should be stingy with water

Water suppliers are loosening water-use restrictions and reporting they’ll have enough water to meet demand for the next three years.

But is that a good idea in the midst of ongoing drought?

While the end of the state’s mandated water conservation targets is intended to give agencies more flexibility, some experts worry customers are being sent the message it’s no longer vital to conserve.

Water officials expect people to keep conserving after suppliers were allowed to set their own water conservation goals for the rest of 2016.
