(KMJ) – The State Water Resources Control Board will release statewide conservation figures for August on October 1st. And those figures are expect to show Californians have met a mandate to save water for a third consecutive month.
But the Board also warns that Californians can’t allow themselves to be distracted by the hype of a coming El Nino weather pattern. It says an El Nino doesn’t guarantee a wet winter for California. And it continues to urge people to keep saving water.
California reported savings of 27 percent in June and 31 percent in July.
The board also is expected to release figures for August showing how each community is performing. The mandate by Governor Jerry Brown gave each city an individual conservation target based on water use in the same month of 2013, the year before Brown declared a drought emergency.
