But about a third water lush landscapes, even though their local water supplier, \u003ca href=\"https://www.lvmwd.com/your-water/water-supply-conditions\">Las Virgenes Municipal Water District\u003c/a>, has been trying to convince residents to cut back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each resident in the Las Virgenes water district’s affluent service area has water budgets for their indoor and outdoor use. In December, the district began mandating a 25% reduction in outdoor water use based on each resident’s square footage and whether they have pools and other factors, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-mcnutt-92b8085/\">Mike McNutt\u003c/a>, a spokesperson for Las Virgenes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of their dependence on dwindling imported supplies, “We consider ourselves, Las Virgenes, and I think, arguably, our neighbors Calleguas Municipal Water District, to be ground zero when it comes to the California drought right now,” he said. “We have to do things that are maybe more significant than others in order to save every drop of water to stretch that as long as possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thus far, though, residents have largely failed to cut back — with about half regularly exceeding their water budgets, McNutt said. Water usage in January and February was 6% higher than in 2020, and 37% higher in March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In April, Las Virgenes ordered customers to cut outdoor watering even further, down to 50% of their outdoor budget — sending out mass texts, emails and voicemails to alert residents. Those who use 150% more water than allotted face escalating penalties, starting with a warning and increasing to $10 for every extra unit of water for a fifth violation. After the third offense, the district may install a flow-restriction device to cut off irrigation supplies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, about 3,000 of the 22,000 Las Virgenes households, McNutt said, have repeatedly exceeded their water budgets by more than 150%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we're going to do is take the most egregious of those water wasters, and those are the people that we're going to install the flow-restriction devices on,” he said. “We're not interested in being punitive. What we're interested in is getting people's attention by saying this is serious, and this is real.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Las Virgenes board will consider enacting the one-day-a-week outdoor watering mandate beginning June 1, McNutt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each water agency must develop watering schedules and have plans to enforce them by June 1. Any penalties Metropolitan collects will go toward helping member agencies tackle the drought, said Brad Coffey, group manager of water resource management.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There will be some exceptions to allow residents to hand-water trees and shrubs to keep them alive during the hot summer months, and to “allow drip or other high-efficiency irrigation systems to apply water at a weekly volume consistent with the one-day watering restriction imposed on less efficient irrigation systems.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Of course, it is not sufficient simply to have these restrictions on paper,” Metropolitan managers wrote in a letter to the board. “Member Agencies must be willing and able to impose meaningful penalties for non-compliance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A statewide turf replacement rebate program that began during the height of the last drought put more than $20.5 million toward tearing out Californians lawns, but it expired in June 2020. A high-efficiency toilet program ended even earlier, in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The state has not offered any rebates during the current drought period from 2020 to present,” said Allison Armstrong, public information officer with the California Department of Water Resources. “However, there is funding in the governor’s proposed budget that supports a turf replacement program, and we may have more information to share later this summer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.bewaterwise.com/assets/mwd_residential_rebates_62321.pdf\">Metropolitan Water District offers rebates\u003c/a> “year-round whether we’re in a drought or not to encourage the public to conserve long term,” said spokesperson Maritza Fairfield.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"The giant Metropolitan Water District imposed the first-ever restrictions today.

Others, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.ladwpnews.com/ladwp-calls-on-customers-to-step-up-water-conservation-as-rapid-snowmelt-contributes-to-dire-water-supply-outlook-for-los-angeles/\">Los Angeles DWP\u003c/a>, which has limited outdoor watering to three days a week since 2009, have not added any new restrictions during the current drought.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District, which serves 1 million people in 19 cities from South Pasadena to Azusa, will meet with its local retailers soon to determine what restrictions to put in place to meet the new order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are likely to recommend to our local retailers to implement mandatory water-use restrictions that may not be as low as one day a week. But whatever we think is necessary to reduce consumption so that those local supplies aren’t depleted,” said General Manager Tom Love.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not happy that we have to do this. It is challenging. But it is a necessity,” Love said. “And whatever Met does in this regard just provides us the backup to do what we need to do within our service area.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have never seen it this severe in my whole career,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though his administration \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/environment/2022/03/newsom-imposes-new-california-water-restrictions-leaves-details-to-locals/\">ordered water suppliers to step up their drought responses\u003c/a>, Gov.

But residential use has increased per capita this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everything’s still being watered. And what’s interesting is that there’s no idea of a shortage happening,” said Kareem Gongora, a San Bernardino County planning commissioner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You come to the [Inland Empire], you don’t feel like there’s a drought. Everything is pretty much practically green still, manicured lawns,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gongora, who lives in Fontana, recently moved to a new house. He said he intentionally chose one with a much smaller yard and lawn because of the risk of drought and the price of water. When it rains, he said, he turns his sprinklers off. When it doesn’t, he runs them twice a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We're new to our neighborhood,” he said. “I don't want to make a bad impression on my neighbors” by letting a yard dry out and die.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gongora said he remembered more restrictions and penalties during the last drought, and called Metropolitan’s new restrictions a step in the right direction. “I don't see anything happening at the pace that it should have,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Los Angeles County’s \u003ca href=\"https://maps.latimes.com/neighborhoods/neighborhood/agoura-hills/index.html\">Agoura Hills\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.agourahillscity.org/department/city-council/city-councilmember-deborah-klein-lopez#:~:text=Deborah%20Klein%20Lopez%20is%20a,environmental%20justice%20and%20economic%20equality.\">Mayor Deborah Klein Lopez\u003c/a>'s sprinklers don’t work. She turned them off about two years ago, and let her lawn go brown. She said she has no intention of turning them back on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had new next-door neighbors move in and I was like, ‘I know my lawn is I ugly. I promise — I have two kids in college. It's on my list,’” she said. “But, a brown lawn is a little bit of a badge of honor right now, just because it shows that you're really keen to the severity of the situation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looking around the neighborhood, she said, another neighbor has a plastic lawn, and some have drought-tolerant gardens. But about a third water lush landscapes, even though their local water supplier, \u003ca href=\"https://www.lvmwd.com/your-water/water-supply-conditions\">Las Virgenes Municipal Water District\u003c/a>, has been trying to convince residents to cut back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each resident in the Las Virgenes water district’s affluent service area has water budgets for their indoor and outdoor use. In December, the district began mandating a 25% reduction in outdoor water use based on each resident’s square footage and whether they have pools and other factors, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-mcnutt-92b8085/\">Mike McNutt\u003c/a>, a spokesperson for Las Virgenes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of their dependence on dwindling imported supplies, “We consider ourselves, Las Virgenes, and I think, arguably, our neighbors Calleguas Municipal Water District, to be ground zero when it comes to the California drought right now,” he said. “We have to do things that are maybe more significant than others in order to save every drop of water to stretch that as long as possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thus far, though, residents have largely failed to cut back — with about half regularly exceeding their water budgets, McNutt said. Water usage in January and February was 6% higher than in 2020, and 37% higher in March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In April, Las Virgenes ordered customers to cut outdoor watering even further, down to 50% of their outdoor budget — sending out mass texts, emails and voicemails to alert residents. Those who use 150% more water than allotted face escalating penalties, starting with a warning and increasing to $10 for every extra unit of water for a fifth violation. After the third offense, the district may install a flow-restriction device to cut off irrigation supplies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, about 3,000 of the 22,000 Las Virgenes households, McNutt said, have repeatedly exceeded their water budgets by more than 150%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we're going to do is take the most egregious of those water wasters, and those are the people that we're going to install the flow-restriction devices on,” he said. “We're not interested in being punitive. What we're interested in is getting people's attention by saying this is serious, and this is real.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Las Virgenes board will consider enacting the one-day-a-week outdoor watering mandate beginning June 1, McNutt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each water agency must develop watering schedules and have plans to enforce them by June 1. Any penalties Metropolitan collects will go toward helping member agencies tackle the drought, said Brad Coffey, group manager of water resource management.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There will be some exceptions to allow residents to hand-water trees and shrubs to keep them alive during the hot summer months, and to “allow drip or other high-efficiency irrigation systems to apply water at a weekly volume consistent with the one-day watering restriction imposed on less efficient irrigation systems.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Of course, it is not sufficient simply to have these restrictions on paper,” Metropolitan managers wrote in a letter to the board. “Member Agencies must be willing and able to impose meaningful penalties for non-compliance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A statewide turf replacement rebate program that began during the height of the last drought put more than $20.5 million toward tearing out Californians lawns, but it expired in June 2020. A high-efficiency toilet program ended even earlier, in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The state has not offered any rebates during the current drought period from 2020 to present,” said Allison Armstrong, public information officer with the California Department of Water Resources. “However, there is funding in the governor’s proposed budget that supports a turf replacement program, and we may have more information to share later this summer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.bewaterwise.com/assets/mwd_residential_rebates_62321.pdf\">Metropolitan Water District offers rebates\u003c/a> “year-round whether we’re in a drought or not to encourage the public to conserve long term,” said spokesperson Maritza Fairfield.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11912368/watering-lawns-once-a-week-and-2000-fines-southern-californians-prepare-for-water-restrictions-as-drought-worsens","authors":["byline_news_11912368"],"categories":["news_19906","news_8"],"tags":["news_17601","news_27626","news_18864","news_5641","news_31008","news_31007"],"featImg":"news_11912383","label":"source_news_11912368"},"news_10981688":{"type":"posts","id":"news_10981688","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"10981688","score":null,"sort":[1465345458000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"court-suspends-metropolitan-water-districts-massive-delta-land-buy","title":"Court Suspends Metropolitan Water District's Massive Delta Land Buy","publishDate":1465345458,"format":"image","headTitle":"The California Report | KQED News","labelTerm":{"term":72,"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>FRESNO — Southern California's largest water supplier was temporarily blocked from buying sprawling farmland that could be used to help build twin tunnels under the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, a court ruled Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state's 3rd District Court of Appeal in Sacramento granted a temporary restraining order the day before escrow was set to close on Metropolitan Water District's \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/04/13/metropolitan-water-districts-175-million-land-deal-raises-alarms-in-delta\" target=\"_blank\">$175 million deal for 20,000 acres\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ruling delays the district's purchase by no more than a few weeks, Metropolitan attorney Catherine Stites said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We don't believe it's a substantive decision,\" she said, adding that the court probably needs more time to review hundreds of pages of documents filed in the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10981692\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10981692\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/DeltaIslands-1-1920x1091-800x455.jpg\" alt=\"Zurich American, a subsidiary of a Swiss insurance company, is selling the Metropolitan Water District about 20,000 acres, including Bacon Island, Bouldin Island, Webb Tract, most of Holland Tract and a piece of Chipps Island. \" width=\"800\" height=\"455\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/DeltaIslands-1-1920x1091-800x455.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/DeltaIslands-1-1920x1091-400x227.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/DeltaIslands-1-1920x1091.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/DeltaIslands-1-1920x1091-1180x671.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/DeltaIslands-1-1920x1091-960x546.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Zurich American, a subsidiary of a Swiss insurance company, is selling the Metropolitan Water District about 20,000 acres, including Bacon Island, Bouldin Island, Webb Tract, most of Holland Tract and a piece of Chipps Island. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Metropolitan Water District)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Metropolitan will ultimately be cleared to buy the land at the hub of California's water system east of San Francisco and more than 300 miles north of Los Angeles, Stites said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Joaquin and Contra Costa counties \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/04/17/opponents-sue-to-block-l-a-water-districts-purchase-of-delta-islands-2\" target=\"_blank\">filed suit against Metropolitan\u003c/a>, a major backer of Gov.

Delta Wetlands acquired most of the property in the 1980s and, along with Kern County's Semitropic Water Storage District, has been working on a plan that would turn two of the islands into reservoirs and use the rest of the land for habitat restoration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kightlinger said the possibility of water storage on the islands is of only secondary interest to the district. More important, he said, is the possibility that the water rights attached to the properties could help the district execute water transfers and secure supplies for its 19 million customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 60 percent of the MWD's water now comes through the Delta.
