Oregon Governor Kate Brown issued an executive order July 7 directing state agencies to implement water conservation practices as several counties declare drought emergencies, bringing the total to 19 counties with drought emergencies.
State agencies that own or manage land are to curtail or end non-essential water use for landscaping and other uses; implement a moratorium on the installation of new landscaping; and put up signs or other messaging in state-owned buildings to encourage water conservation.
