Southern California water shortage sparks unprecedented cuts
Figures released in early April
Newsom called on Californians to voluntary reduce their water use by that amount last July. But the state’s cumulative water savings from July through February stand at 5.8% compared with the same months in 2020. In February, the San Francisco Bay Area reduced water use by 4.6%, while the South Coast region of Southern California — which constitutes 55% of the state’s population — used just 0.2% less water. In other parts of the state, people used more water than they did in February 2020.
“I’m appalled that a change this drastic is happening in such a short period of time,” said Peter Kraut, a Calabasas City Council member. “This plan will result not just in brown grass but in killing countless trees. The damage to our environment will take decades to repair. It will cost ratepayers millions of dollars to remove the dead trees and plant new ones.”
