iEfficient is one way local agencies are meeting the state mandate to cut water use 20 percent

by 2020. Due to historic drought conditions, Governor Brown declared a state of emergency
and asked all Californians to cut their water use by 20 percent. Real impacts are being felt

across the state and the Inland Empire is no exception. These dry conditions mean that

regions like ours are at increased risk for wildfires and must learn to live without imported
water from Northern California.



"This drought is not going away any time soon," said Amanda Kasten, water conservation
coordinator for West Valley Water District. "By making conservation a way of life we can

secure our water resources now and in the future."


Together with the public's support, the Inland Empire will serve as a model of regional

cooperation and set an example for the rest of the state.


Participating agencies and governments include: City of Redlands, City of Loma Linda, City

of Colton, City of Rialto, City of Riverside, City of Corona, Jurupa Community Services

District, Yucaipa Valley Water District, San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District, San
Bernardino Municipal Water Department, Riverside Highland Water Company, San

Bernardino Valley Water Conservation District, West Valley Water District, Western Municipal

Water District, and East Valley Water District.
