No mandatory rationing this summer, Bay Area's largest water district says

San Jose Mercury News (June 23, 2014) — Despite the third year of serious drought, almost no communities have imposed mandatory rationing -- meaning water budgets, fines for overuse and water cops writing tickets for people overwatering lawns or hosing down driveways. "Most of them have fairly ample water supplies; it's not dire for them yet," said Jay Lund, director of the Center for Watershed Sciences at UC Davis. "They also make money by selling water."
