Water Districts Awaiting Approval from State on Conservation Goals

As state-mandated water restrictions were projected to be lifted on Aug. 1, local water districts have begun to take steps establishing new, self-certified conservation marks, but the state has yet to confirm the districts’ goals.

Cal Water Marysville, which previously had a 24 percent reduction mandated by the state, set its new water conservation target at 10 percent. “It’s a target that is meant to reinforce conservation,” said Lee Seidel, district manager for Cal Water Marysville.
