Gov. Newsom Relaxed Water Restrictions in Drenched California. Why Didn’t He End the Drought Emergency?

March 27, 2023/in California and the U.S., Home Headline, Media Coverage /by Noah Harrel /The Mercury Newsby Paul Rogers
Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday relaxed drought rules in California amid a winter season filled with atmospheric river storms, flooding and a massive Sierra Nevada snowpack — and officials signaled that an end to the declared drought emergency in the Bay Area and many other regions is coming soon.

At an appearance at a groundwater recharge project in Yolo County, Newsom announced the end of state regulations he put in place last March that required cities and water agencies to impose water restrictions such as limits on the number of days a week residents could water lawns and landscaping. The decision now will be up to each local area in the coming weeks and months about whether to drop those restrictions.
