City Water Conservation Measures
GIS Map by Charles Gooley, ESRI, and the Angeles Chapter GIS Committee
The Sierra Club Angeles Chapter has released a Water Conservation Measures Scorecard that rates the cities in Los Angeles and Orange counties, California, by the number of mandatory water conservation measures enacted. Cities are ranked for measures in their ordinances that address appropriate water use, avoid water waste, improve building standards, and prescribe water-efficient business practices. Five cities are rated “Best” for the number and type of measures enacted. Another five cities are rated “Worst” for having too few measures on their books. The scorecard provides cities with a roadmap to update and expand existing water conservation measures in order to meet federal and state water efficiency standards and to work together to better manage use of the region’s limited water resources.
