Column: We did better, but more draconian measures may be coming to stop folks from watering all those begonias.
Shame on you Colton and El Segundo, Torrance and Brea, Big Bear Lake and Coachella! Tsk, tsk, Desert Water Agency, Laguna Beach County Water District and Irvine Ranch!
“While the state is heading in the right direction, every Californian and business needs to do more to conserve water.” Why, exactly? The old data tracks only water sold, while the new data tracks water sold and system losses, Metzger said. Desert will update the state database so the comparison is apples to apples, she said.
Unlike so many other Southland cities and water districts that must rely on expensive imported water, Desert is perched atop an abundant aquifer and can stick its straw into the groundwater without worry. Several other high-use cities/districts are in the same lucky spot. “It wasn’t until we modified our penalty structure in November of 2021, and after we started installing flow-restriction devices, that we started seeing substantial water conservation,” said Joe McDermott, director of engineering, by email.
