The 15% water conservation mandate and drought-emergency status were still in effect for the Tri-Valley, despite recent rain.

Drought and low water storage led the Zone 7 Water Agency Board of Directors to unanimously declare a drought emergency and mandate 15% water use reduction for all Zone 7 retailers. July water savings was about 7%, compared to July 2020, so action is needed immediately to ensure adequate supplies in 2022. A Stage 2 Shortage Emergency and local drought emergency resolution were also approved at the Sept. 1 special board meeting.
Zone 7 serves customers in the cities of Livermore and Pleasanton, Dublin-San Ramon Services District and the California Water Service Company.
