Carlsbad Nears Critical Water Situation, Officials Say
It’s so dry around Carlsbad that the city is nearing a critical water situation and is even close to exceeding its 10-year water rights established by the state.
City Administrator Harry Burgess told the Carlsbad Current-Argus strict water restrictions may have to be implemented in the coming months.
Burgess said people need to cut back on their water use to prevent the city from having to go to mandatory water rationing.
The city has already reduced the water schedule at city parks, and Burgess said water used on the city golf course is reclaimed water and not drinking water.
