First Time?

California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) is ordering the state’s first mandatory water use restrictions in an effort to cut consumption by 25 percent.

Brown’s executive order, issued Wednesday, restricts watering grass lawns, cemeteries, golf courses and grass in street medians while implementing new pricing models at water utilities designed to discourage overuse.

It’s the latest effort by California officials to cope with the state’s historic drought, which is in its fourth year and shows few signs of receding.

Brown announced the new restrictions Wednesday in a grassy area of the Sierra Nevada mountains that is usually covered with feet of snow at this time of year, the Los Angeles Times reported.

If this is the first time, what were those water restrictions when I lived in San Francisco in the 70s where we were fined if we used more than a personal water use allotment?
