With the state being hard hit by the drought, one of the South Coast’s largest water suppliers is calling for major cuts in water usage.
The Calleguas Municipal Water District supplies state water to cities, and agencies serving more than 660,000 Ventura County residents.
Callegaus is calling on cities, and water agencies in the county to get their customers to cut consumption 15% compared to last year. It’s leaving it up to the water suppliers to decide whether they will use voluntary, or mandatory steps to make the cuts.
The State Water Project is reporting that it has the lowest water levels in history, which means Ventura County may only get a fraction of its normal supply. Some of the county’s water suppliers get all of their water from the state, while others get a portion of it from the water project.
