(07:40) SACRAMENTO – California officials are rolling out two initiatives in an effort to improve residential water conservation. The State Energy Commission voted this week to implement strict standards for showerheads. Starting in July 2018, showerheads sold at stores will be limited to spraying 1.8 gallons a minute. Earlier this year, similar standards were passed for toilets, faucets and urinals. The commission has also approved a $30 million rebate program to help residents rip out lawns and replace old toilets. (S.G.)
