Agencies at Water Conservation Vanguard Find Further Savings Harder to Achieve

Long Beach and Los Angeles had already adopted bans on outdoor water waste prior to the California water board taken action Tuesday to make it statewide. However, during the past year, neither city has used its authority to impose fines on water wasters, preferring to rely on warnings and peer pressure. At the same time, after previous cutbacks of nearly 20 percent and warmer than usual weather, agencies are finding it more difficult to achieve further savings.
