Responding to record rainfall that revitalized California’s reservoirs and the snowpack in the Sierra Nevada, Mountain View City Council members agreed last Tuesday night to drop the last of the city’s drought restrictions. In a unanimous vote at the May 23 meeting, council members rescinded Mountain View’s “stage 1” water use restrictions, which the city imposed in 2014 in order to rein in outdoor irrigation and other water uses to preserve the region’s dwindling water supply.
