The California Water Resources Control Board says the 28 percent May water conservation rate, compared to May 2013, was “phenomenal.” The board says cumulatively, local water suppliers have saved 1.6 million acre feet in the 12 months of mandatory conservation, or enough water to supply eight million people for a year.
