Urban Water Conservation

Looks like the state may be stepping in to set statewide standards. From the State Water Board's website:

The State Water Board adopted the “Strategic Workplan for Activities in the San Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Estuary” (Bay-Delta Workplan) on July 16, 2008. Among nine elements, the Bay-Delta Workplan contains proposed actions to address water use efficiency for urban and agricultural water users. The actions include an assessment of whether to develop an urban water conservation regulatory program and, if so, what the regulatory program should be.

• Public Workshop - October 1, 2008
  A public workshop to consider information regarding the development of an urban water conservation regulatory program will be held in Sacramento on October 1, 2008. The State Water Board will accept written comments on the proposal until noon, September 23, 2008. Refer to the Public Notice and Discussion Paper for more details.
