The move comes less than two weeks after /*Gov. Jerry Brown*/ officially declared an end to the state's drought.
MWD officials voted Tuesday to lift the restrictions saying the effort is made possible by this season's storms and the public's /*water conservation*/.
Water flowing from the snowpack in the southern Sierra Nevada has enabled the MWD to fill its storage facilities, and the agency now has roughly a year's water supply in storage and anticipates storing about 800,000 acre-feet of water this year.
However, officials say continued conservation efforts are needed to maintain reserves.
The MWD provides water to about 19 million people in six counties.
