Grover Beach is experiencing a Stage 2 water shortage emergency after almost a year of saving water in a Stage 1 shortage declaration.
Water customers will also get some respite, as the City Council unanimously decided at its May 9 meeting to pause penalties on water conservation violations.
The 10 percent mandatory reduction in residential water use sprung from the combination of depleting water levels at Lopez Lake along with diminished groundwater supply as a result of low rainfall.
Commercial and industrial groups are exempt from that declaration, but residential customers will receive a reprieve from penalties.
