Many Californians could soon be required to cut back on their water use, but some question if it will go far enough. In a marathon eight-hour workshop Wednesday, the state's Water Resources Control Board gave the public a chance to weigh in on its new strategy to increase water supplies statewide to protect against future drought conditions. The state's new plan to save water over the years has a catchphrase, promoting water conservation as "A California Way of Life". This is also something that's been a 'way of life' here in San Diego County for decades now. "We're supportive of what the state's trying to do because we've done it here in San Diego, and we know that it works," said Jeff Stephenson, Director of Water Resources for the San Diego County Water Authority. He said San Diego has been successfully achieving its water conservation goals since the early 1990s. "We've achieved about a 50% reduction per person use." he added, "so what the state through their proposed regulations is trying to do is implement something similar to that statewide." These newly proposed cutbacks to water use are not as drastic as those initially proposed last summer, which many water agencies criticized as being too complex, costly and unrealistic.
