v 2.4.3.0

California state and local agencies are considering the use of “allocation-based rate structures” to determine how much water households are allowed to use daily. Factors such as number of residents, amount of landscaping and medical needs may be taken into consideration in deciding one’s daily allotment of water. In October, the state water board will have enough information to know how much water is being used per capita by local water agencies and could use the data to push for stiffer water restrictions.
