Despite a warm July without rainfall, the Long Beach Board of Water Commissioners announced this week that citywide water use remains well below the city's historical 10-year average.
Citywide water use was 15.3 percent below average in July and down from the same month in 2008, according to a news release from the Long Beach Water Department.
For the current fiscal year, which began on Oct. 1, Long Beach water consumption is 16.5 percent below the historical average.
