Governor orders mandatory water use reductions in California

What looks like a giant bath tub ring has formed around the Silver Lake Reservoir as the water level has been slowly dropping. The LADWP has also not been replenishing water lost to evaporation, which has resulted in a drop in the water level, as part of a project to replace underground storage tanks to improve the quality of drinking water in Los Angeles on April 3, 2015. Once the project is completed, the Silver Lake and Ivanhoe reservoirs will be refilled and hold non-potable water. Gov. Jerry Brown ordered mandatory water use reductions for the first time in California's history, saying the state's four-year drought had reached near-crisis proportions after a winter of record-low snowfalls.
