Valley Water District Directors ended the drought emergency declaration in Santa Clara County and plan to ease some water use restrictions while keeping up conservation efforts.
"You can almost set your clock to it. Every five or ten years, we're going to have a drought," said Director John Varela.Reservoirs are filled to the brim, and underground water is also topped up to normal levels. That's why the emergency drought declaration was lifted. But they left in place some mandatory water use restrictions, such as keeping outdoor landscape watering to only two days a week, and potential enforcement actions against allowing wasteful water runoff.
"Water isn't infinite, so I think we still need to plan for drought conditions in the future," Rondeau said.
