As California's water crisis worsens, officials are taking new steps to ensure homes are conserving water. FOX13
Both the California Department of Water Resources and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California are projecting shortages in water supply to occur later this year.
The water district recently declared a state of emergency, activating their water shortage contingency plan. Outdoor watering budgets have been reduced by 50% effective May 1. Flow restrictors have been installed in 20 homes of customers who use too much water. The device is about the size of a half dollar with a small hole in the middle. Once installed, the ability to water anything outside is eliminated."Not everybody is going to be getting this, and hopefully just the minority of homes will be getting these flow restrictors," Las Virgenes Municipal Water District spokesman Mike McNutt said.
