Water conservation figures for April released this week show the state’s urban residents used 21.7 percent less water than in April 2013, the year used as the pre-drought benchmark. Local water agencies did much better, with most reporting savings more than double the state average. The Water Resources Control Board released the information Tuesday. The Paradise Irrigation District led the local group with a 56.8 percent reduction compared to April 2013. Water use was calculated at 69 gallons per person per day.
