Why is there a drought?
Blame it on below-average precipitation and snowpacks. The drought has placed an incredible strain on water resources, including the five water districts that serve Temple City.
California’s drought is now in its fourth straight year. In response, California Governor Jerry Brown has called for a mandatory statewide 25% reduction in water use. This daunting task will require everyone to conserve water.
