Residents cut water usage to the point that officials projected an 11% reduction in water compared to the previous two Julys, the lowest in the area since 1970.
As California continues to work through one of the worst droughts in state history, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power has released encouraging data to show that water conservation methods are working.
"We certainly are going in the right direction when it comes to water conservation," said Anselmo Collins, senior assistant general manager of the LADWP water system, who met with Governor Gavin Newsom to discuss the newest data. After two full months of restrictions in place — beginning on June 1 — usage numbers have dropped steadily, with a 9% reduction in June. Along with urging residents to be conscious of their habits when it comes to showering, washing dishes and other day-to-day activities around the house, they were also placed on outdoor watering schedules.
