California regulators have proposed delaying some new rules aimed at reducing how much water people use on their lawns.
California regulators this week proposed delaying new rules aimed at reducing how much water people use on their lawns, drawing praise from agencies that said they needed more time to comply but criticism from environmentalists who warn that the delay would damage the state's already scarce supply.Last year, California proposed new rules that would, cumulatively, reduce statewide water use by about 14%.
'The goal of the outdoor water standards for 2040 is to have the majority of a person's yard made up of low-water plants irrigated by a drip system instead of sprinklers, which regulators argue are inefficient in part because they often spray water on sidewalks and asphalt.But water agencies wouldn't have to always meet these new outdoor standards.
