CCWD on Governor’s Request for All Californians to reduce Water Consumption by 20%
San Andreas, CA...Calaveras County Water District continues to urge customers to use water wisely. Water conservation is always a good idea. As the Drought picture becomes clear, CCWD will implement appropriate programs and policies to address water conservation. At this time, the district is advising that all measures are voluntary. While water supplies may be challenged during the upcoming year; good stewardship of the districts’ resources may be adequate to avoid mandatory restrictions...
The drought and current water supply conditions Statewide are severe. We are linked; hydrologic and economic interdependence mandate prudence of our water use to preserve and protect the resource for the benefit of all. However, not all water use in the state is the same. Much of the water used in the higher watersheds is returned to the base flows within a reasonably short time, while other water ultimately recharges the groundwater basins in a much slower fashion. Being near the source, keeping both surface flows and subsurface flows charged are pieces in a much larger puzzle. Cautious and conservative water use is always warranted and wasting water is unlawful.
Levelheaded approaches can be productive and helpful to assist the state achieve the Governor’s goal. Join my family and me, as we try to reduce our water use by 20 gallons each day. Watersaving tips are available at:
