Conserving water in Ontario
At Tuesday's council meeting, councilman Jim Bowman asked the city's Ken Jeske to speak on the water crisis plaguing the state.
Jeske told the council most of southern California's water comes from Northern California. He credited the city council for their leadership in being proactive in the situation.
One of the issues facing the city in the next couple of months is proposed increases to water rates by the Metropolitan Water District, Jeske said.
The district is expected to raise rates by 15 percent in September and possibly another 20 percent by the end of the year.
"Those are costs they city will be taking as we buy," he said.
With the proposed increased, Jeske urged residents and the council to look at ways to conserve water.
"Every gallon we save this year is a gallon we have for next year," he said. "We ask all residents to be very careful."
Last year the council passed a resolution urging residents and businesses to implement a 10 percent reduction in their water use.
For their part, the city is changing its landscape to be more water efficient.
Residents may want to consider cutting back on watering their grass, that's because about 70 percent of all the water a residents uses goes into their grass, Jeske said.

Thank you for a great post
I think this product did just want it had intended to do. I found myself having a lot of energy when using this and actually lost weight! I've never taken a diet pill that didn't make me jittery and this doesn't do that at all! I feel energized and without the jitters. I also didn't feel as hungry throughout the day. I would recommend this product to anyone!
Can't live without this product. I notice a huge difference in my mindset, digestive system and energy level when I stop taking ACAI and with this product in particular, I notice the highest degree of potency and it seems to work quicker than others too. LOVE IT!
