COUNTYWIDE : Antonovich Urges End to Rationing

Supervisor Mike Antonovich asked Tuesday that the county Board of Supervisors end the mandatory water rationing program in county waterworks districts.

The program, which required a 20% reduction, actually resulted in user cutbacks of more than 30%, according to Antonovich. Because of heavy winter rains and additional State Water Project deliveries, Antonovich said he would ask that mandatory rationing be replaced by a program calling for a voluntary reduction of 10%.

The issue will be considered by the board at next Tuesday’s meeting.
