The city of St. Helenaâs current water restrictions allow residential accounts 65 gallons of water per person a day, which amounts to a reduction of about 30-43%, while commercial users only must cut back by 10%. The approach in Lake County is âAll customers in the five water systems are being asked to voluntarily conserve water and reduce usage by 20%â and in Marin County âWe are asking all customers, residential and commercial, to save as much water as they can. Our collective goal is 40%.â Healdsburg residential customers were given a water budget of 74 gallons per person per day while their commercial customers must reduce usage by 40%.

Water Audit California is suing to make Napa County increase oversight of groundwater pumping for vineyards, wineries, and other uses, claiming that the pumping affects the Napa River.
The lawsuit said the county has a âpublic trustâ duty to care for the river. The idea is that too much groundwater pumping from wells can keep groundwater from seeping into the river during dry months, to the detriment of fish and other aquatic life.
âToday, the Napa River is important for maintaining native aquatic animals because it is the least urbanized of the sizable watersheds directly feeding San Francisco Bay,â the lawsuit said.
