Long Beach has seen its lowest level of water use in decades, an average of just 63 gallons per person per day compared to the regional rate of 94 gallons.
In July, Long Beach reduced its water use by 14% compared to 2020, when the state was in its last non-drought year, following a three-month trend of water use reductions this summer.
"Residents should know that if someone calls or texts them asking for payment or personal information, the caller is not from the Water Department," a department spokesperson said.
