While rebounding rain and snow levels this winter have helped some communities hit Gov. Jerry Brown’s request for 25% water savings, no community will get a free pass from conservation targets this summer. The South Coast region of the state cut water use by 6.9% in February, the Bay Area cut use by 18.3%, and the Sacramento region by 20.7%.

The draft regulations would require golf courses using private wells and other commercial properties relying on an “independent source of water supply” to limit irrigation to two days a week or achieve a 25 percent reduction in water use.
