Santa Cruz Faces Water Shortage


via KSBW.com:
With temperatures rising, Santa Cruz is on the verge of putting new water restrictions in place.

In fact, next week city leaders are expected to declare a stage two water shortage.

The restriction includes water use for odd number addresses using water on certain days and even number addresses using water on other days.

If put in place, the restrictions will not be voluntary and breaking the rules may mean facing a fine.

Santa Cruz draws its water from the San Lorenzo River. The water flow is low and even though February rains filled Loch Lomond Reservoir, it still isn't enough to meet the demand.
