Like the rest of us, you probably received a notice in the mail today from Golden State Water Company regarding a public meeting next Wednesday, June 17, at 6:30pm. The meeting will allow the water company to explain their proposed mandatory water rationing plan.
You may want to pay attention because there are fines of $50 to $300 that can be imposed for violations, depending on which of the seven stages of water rationing we happen to be at. The conditions listed seem to track the city's proposed water conservation ordinance.
The City of Claremont's website carried this notice, along with a link to the text of the mailing:
