Marin Municipal Water District adopted a new plan that will trigger water conservation measures and usage restrictions earlier and more often.
The district Board of Directors voted unanimously to adopt the new conservation triggers on Feb. 21. The plan will enact either mandatory or voluntary conservation measures and potential drought surcharges on rates based on reservoir storage levels as of April 1 of each year.
The plan also has a drought surcharge component that would take effect when reservoir levels fall below 65,000 acre-feet.
