San Diego is prepared to handle multi-year drought

You still shouldn’t water the lawn too much, but the San Diego region will have enough water supply to meet demand for the next three years even if they’re dry, the County Water Authority reported Thursday.

The agency’s Board of Directors, after hearing the projections from staff, voted unanimously to take a regional approach to the state’s new process for certifying supply sufficiency for the Water Authority’s 24 member agencies, and to establish a long-term drought awareness initiative.
