SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Californians did slightly better in November on conserving water during the drought, figures released Tuesday show. Overall water consumption declined by 9.8 percent — about 15 billion gallons — in the month compared to the same period a year ago, according to a report by the state Water Resources Control Board that surveyed nearly 400 urban water agencies. Water use typically drops in the fall and winter as rainy weather idles sprinklers.
