Governor Jerry Brown issued an executive order yesterday morning, calling for statewide mandatory water reductions. The announcement coincides with the release of a survey revealing the lowest snowpack in the state’s history. The order calls for a 25 percent decrease in water use and asks water agencies to increase enforcement. Brown also plans to prioritize water infrastructure projects and launch a statewide rebate program for residents who replace old household appliances with more water-efficient ones. The state water board will meet next week to discuss the mandated reductions.
