No, no--it really never went away. As Southern California drains its water resources thoroughly, it's no wonder that the Metropolitan Water District wants to ration our water supply and raise prices.
Southern California residents do not conserve as much as they need to. Record dry winters have helped put us in the red zone, a drought compromises California's agriculture and our obscenely clean cars.
But there is some positive news: "Locally, Long Beach has taken the most radical action on water conservation. The city's water board has prohibited residents from watering their lawns during the day or more than three times a week. Residents cannot use water hoses to clean driveways, patios, sidewalks or other paved areas unless they use a pressurized broom device.Long Beach restaurants are barred from serving water unless diners expressly request" (LATimes.com)
