By The Numbers: California Water Districts Face Up To 35 Percent Cuts In Drought

/ CBS Sacramento

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — In the wake of a dry winter and low statewide water conservation numbers, the California Water Resources Control Board is considering stiff restrictions on the state's highest water users.

The board is using numbers from September 2014, the first period when it had residential per capita numbers on water usage, to determine new restrictions on the state's 411 urban water suppliers.

Below is the full list of reductions, sorted by the severity of the reduction. Since it's a long list, we have also color-coded the text of each stage of reduction. The reductions are part of a package that will be voted on at an April 17 meeting.

  • The 135 suppliers who had a residential use per capita over 165 will be required to cut by 35 percent. 
  • The 132 suppliers who had a residential use per capita between 110 and 165 will be required to cut by 25 percent.
  • The 135 suppliers who had a residential use per capita between 55 and 110 will be required to cut by 20 percent.
  • The 135 suppliers who had a residential use per capita under 55 will only have to cut by 10 percent.
