The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California rescinded its emergency conservation mandate after a wet winter improved water levels in the region.

The repealed mandate, which was issued in June 2022, required nearly seven million people in parts of Los Angeles, Ventura, and San Bernardino counties to reduce their water usage and only water their yards one day a week.

The board of the water district announced Wednesday that they had voted to rescind the mandate based on "improvements in the availability of State Water Project supplies," but are still advising residents to be efficient with their water usage.

“Southern California remains in a water supply deficit. The more efficiently we all use water today, the more we can keep in storage for a future dry year,” Tracy Quinn, chairwoman of the One Water Committee, said in a statement. “And as we face climate whiplash, dry conditions could return as soon as next year. Metropolitan is committed to helping residents save water through our expansive rebate and incentive programs.”

The water district receives its supply from the region while also importing water from the Colorado River and Northern California. In the release, the water district stated that despite abundant supply from the Golden State, there are still problems with water supplies from the Colorado River.

“While we certainly appreciate the improved water supply conditions, I want to caution everyone that our challenges are not over. We ask everyone to remain diligent in saving water regardless of the weather,” Adel Hagekhalil, general manager of the water district, said in a statement. “We also continue to face major uncertainties on our water supplies from the Colorado River.”

Southern California, along with the rest of the state, has been drenched this winter with 11 atmospheric rivers, per the Associated Press. The various storms caused flash flooding, intense rain, and Los Angeles County's first blizzard warning since 1989.

The continued rain has caused much of California to be no longer designated as being in a drought, with no part of the state being rated as in an extreme drought, per the National Integrated Drought Information System.
