North Bay water companies are looking at rationing to cut use by 30 percent or more.
The Sonoma County Water Agency, which serves Sonoma and northern Marin counties, told cities and water districts to plan on losing 30 percent of their flow, according to North Bay news reports.
“If things don’t change we will have 30 percent rationing this year and at worst 50 percent,” said Paul Kelley, chairman of the county Board of Supervisors and an agency director, at a news conference on Tuesday.
The Bolinas Public Utility District already limits customers to 150 gallons per day, the equivalent of three loads of laundry or a 15-minute shower.
Restrictions were also anticipated by other suppliers.
