SACRAMENTO—With summer months approaching, Gov. Gavin Newsom warned May 23 “the state could be forced to enact mandatory restrictions” if local water conservation efforts continue to be ineffective.

Newsom met with California’s major water suppliers in Los Angeles, San Diego, and the San Francisco Bay Area on Monday, asking them to urge Californians to use less water amid worsening drought conditions.
