California’s water regulators just can’t give up their control of our lawn watering and shower times, despite a federal analysis showing that most of the state is no longer in drought. Even as Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency for 50 counties last month due to flooding, erosion and mud flows, and the snowpack in the Sierra Nevada is nearly twice average levels, the State Water Resources Control Board voted unanimously last week to extend water conservation rules until at least May.
