significant drought in California, the Governor issued an executive order to have the State
Water Resources Control Board mandate water conservation actions. Staffs recommendation
to remain in a water shortage level one and meet the state's requirements by implementing
the level two mandatory water use restrictions is based on the actions of the San Diego County
Water Authority and the results of the annual water supply and demand assessment which
show Poway has the supplies to meet demands through June 2023. Ms. Parks noted Poway
reduced its water demands by more than 40 percent over the past 20 years even with
population and development growth, further she discussed regulations and water use
restrictions and provided directions for residents to report waste.
