Earlier this month, Gov. Jerry Brown issued an historic order mandating that the state cut its water use by 25 percent. That's not an across-the-board cut. While water hogging cities will have to cut their water use by as much as 36 percent, water super-savers like Santa Cruz may barely see any cuts. It's all being hashed out by state regulators right now, who are are expected to finalize the cuts later this week. So who are the state's biggest water hogs, and water savers?
