San Diego needs to watch its water use.Mayor Jerry Sanders said Tuesday that water rationing for residents is likely to be imposed by July 1, the beginning of San Diego’s next fiscal year.

Sanders says the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California may soon slash deliveries to the region by as much as 20 percent.

Officials say stiff penalties would be imposed on customers who exceed the water allocated to them, especially for outdoor water uses that are considered discretionary.

The mayor has scheduled three public workshops next month to discuss how to fairly implement water rationing.
