The City of Bakersfield and Cal Water both adopted a 9% conservation standard based on each of their local supply conditions at that time. In February 2017, the State Water Board approved an extension of the Urban Water Conservation Regulation until October 2017. Table 1 below shows information that was reported to the State for the months of January and February 2017. Note that one (1) CCF is one hundred cubic feet, or 748 gallons.
