LOS ANGELES—With recent storms helping alleviate severe drought conditions that were plaguing the state, Southern California’s water wholesaler announced March 15 it is rescinding emergency outdoor watering restrictions it imposed last year.
The Metropolitan Water District (MWD) of Southern California’s Board of Directors voted Tuesday to rescind the restrictions—which impacted six local water agencies in Los Angeles, Ventura, and San Bernardino counties that are heavily dependent on supplies from the State Water Project.
