Placer water officials want restrictions loosened
By Lemor Abrams, CBS-13
As reservoirs fill and begin to release more water, one Northern California water agency says the drought is over and wants water restrictions lifted.
Officials with the Placer County Water Agency say if they don’t use all the water up north, it’s just going to flow into the rivers in Sacramento and end up back in the ocean. They’re asking the state to let them make the call on how they use their water.
Water officials will reconsider drought regulations in May at the end of the wet season.
