🌱 RB/4S Must Save Water Now + RB/4S Homes + Jobs Available Now

Good day, people of Rancho Bernardo-4s Ranch! It's me again, Bettyann Pernice, your host of the Rancho Bernardo-4s Ranch Daily.

First, today's weather:

Clouds breaking for some sun. High: 68, Low: 50.

Here are three of the top stories today in Rancho Bernardo-4s Ranch:

1. The bad news is we need to cut back further on our water use. The good news is this time the demand for cutbacks will come from cities and local water districts, allowing for conservation goals to be set by local areas themselves. “We live in a state that has many different hydrological zones, many different water usages, and that one-size-fits-all doesn’t really work in California,” said Jared Blumenfeld, secretary of the California Environmental Protection Agency. “How we protect this precious resource has to be baked into everything we do," Blumenfeld said. “Our lives here in California are really going to be shaped by water scarcity going forward."
