Sanctions, higher costs considered under California drought plan - Yahoo News

Sanctions, higher costs considered under California drought plan - Yahoo News: "SACRAMENTO, Calif. (Reuters) - California may require communities to pay for water according to how much they use and impose sanctions on those who do not conserve, in the state's first-ever mandatory cutbacks in urban water use because of ongoing drought, regulators said Tuesday.

The tactics and issues under consideration for a still- developing conservation plan were distributed at a meeting of the State Water Resources Board on Tuesday, just days after Governor Jerry Brown ordered mandatory 25 percent cutbacks in urban water use as the state's devastating drought enters its fourth year."
