Temecula area homeowners will be getting a little budgetary wiggle room in the near future.

The Rancho California Water District approved a new water rate structure on Thursday morning that should make it easier for people to water their lawns or fill up their pools.

The structure, which the district calls “stage 3c” of its “water shortage contigency plan,” includes a suspension of the drought surcharges that were imposed last year following Gov. Jerry Brown’s statewide water use reduction mandate.
