April 20, 2021 Nicasio reservoir and surrounding hills in the morning Marin County, California (shutterstock) Marin County is likely to become the first in the region to impose mandatory water restrictions. The Marin Municipal Water District is meeting today on a plan to severely limit outdoor water usage, starting on May 1st. Residents could be fined $250 if they water outdoors more than once a week. It would also be illegal to refill swimming pools, power wash driveways or houses or do anything else that uses a lot of water.
