With the state of California mired in its fourth year of drought and a mandatory 25 percent reduction in water usage in place, reports of water theft have become common.

In April, The Associated Press reported that huge amounts of water went missing from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and a state investigation was launched. The delta is a vital body of water, serving 23 million Californians as well as millions of farm acres, according to the Association for California Water Agencies.

Now that Spring is here, Douglas County officials want to remind residents of the basic code requirements for their properties. Not only does keeping care of one's yard and surrounding property help maintain the attractiveness of the area, it also helps reduce fire danger in a very dry year.
