There’s Enough Water for Three Years, but Don’t Dare Change Your Saving Ways

Thanks primarily to residents’ conservation efforts, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California announced Wednesday that it has sufficient supplies to meet the water demands of its member agencies for the next three years.

But don’t relax your efforts to save water: Officials say the need to conserve is definitely not over yet. MWD officials said the analysis of its water supplies was mandated by the State Water Resources Control Board, which ended its mandatory conservation program last month and asked agencies throughout the state to review their supplies for the next three years.
