As the climate becomes hotter and drier, drought conditions may worsen. This can increase food prices, utility bills, and other costs. As water becomes scarcer, water quality may decrease as algal blooms occur, pollutants become more concentrated, and stressed natural systems no longer filter water. Drawing up high levels of ground water may cause further contamination, and in extreme cases, cause the ground to subside.
The City has published a summary of current and historic drought response information at Cupertino.org/drought. The City of Cupertino continues to encourage our communities to keep conserving water. The purpose of this is to identify helpful information and links for residents and identify the City's efforts in water conservation.
