California Adopts New Regulation for Making Conservation a California Way of Life

California recently adopted a regulation for Making Conservation a California Way of Life. The new regulation is intended to cultivate long-term practices that will help address California's limited water supplies. The regulation sets new, permanent water use budgets for Contra Costa Water District's entire service area - not individual customers or businesses - that combine:

• How much water a person uses indoors per day;
• How much water residents and commercial irrigation only customers use outside; and
• How much water is lost through leaks.
