San Diego Debates New H2O Measures

As water shortages get more severe, the goals would get steeper: For example, under the Level 2 scenario, (a 20% cut), the city proposes to limit watering lawns to 10 minutes a day. At Level 3, no new potable water service would be provided unless a building permit had already been issued.

San Diego city council met in early November to approve a new set of mandatory water conservation measures. The sliding scale of restrictions is likely to go into effect in 2009.

The council will not discuss how to enforce water rationing or what penalties to impose until a future date.
