Brown extends water-saving measures (November 14, 2015)

SACRAMENTO — Gov. Jerry Brown is extending his executive order requiring Californians to conserve water as the state prepares for a fifth year of drought.

The governor announced he is continuing a 2014 order declaring a drought emergency to give state officials more flexibility to address the ongoing effects of the drought.

Brown ordered communities throughout the state to reduce water use by a quarter this year, but those cuts will expire in February.
