As of April 2017 only 1% of the state is currently in the severe drought stage. Due to these facts, the Governor has lifted the Emergency Regulation for water conservation. However, the City’s stage II of the drought preparedness resolution remains in effect until further notice. Although the state of California has seen substantial precipitation during the current water year, the City urges our residents to remember that the next drought could be right around the corner and that water conservation is a way of life.
