Overall, Californians from July of last year through January conserved about 6.5% statewide compared to 2020, according to state data — falling far short of Newsom’s requested 15%

last summer. Then they bolstered their supplies enough to make it through the dry months.

In the first half of 2021, residents used about 11% more than in 2020. But the latter half ended up about 5% lower. “The momentum of having the state come out with a mandate makes our jobs easier,” Thompson said. “But California is huge. And it's diverse in terms of the different water agencies and their available water supplies. So it makes a lot more sense to make that an individual choice for each agency.” For some water systems, even mandatory calls for conservation haven’t been enough to weather water shortages.

Ryan Rhoades, supervisor for the Mendocino City Community Services District, said he filled buckets of creek water to keep relatives’ toilets flushing. He said most residents managed to stay below the mandatory target, but estimates that about 5% didn’t.
