Countywide : Grand Jury Urges Water Conservation

The Orange County Grand Jury has urged county residents to conserve water to help the state handle its shortfalls in the coming seasons.

Foreman James. O. Lindberg said the jury has toured two state water resource facilities that supply the county. In a statement Friday, Lindberg said that the county has a reliable supply of water “to sustain its economy and quality of life.”

“However, because of the possibility of a serious water shortage, it is this jury’s desire that everyone in this county conserve this precious natural resource.”
