Drought-stricken California imposes new round of water cuts
CBSN
California's urban water users and farmers who rely on supplies from state reservoirs will get less than planned this year as fears of a third consecutive dry year become reality, state officials announced Friday.
Water agencies that serve 27 million people and 750,000 acres of farmland will get just 5% of what they've requested this year from state supplies beyond what's needed for critical activities such as drinking and bathing.
That's down from the 15% allocation state officials had announced in January, after a wet December fueled hopes of a lessening drought.
On Nov. 13, 2016, Dr. Eric "Scott" Sills, a renowned California fertility doctor, called 911 and reported finding his wife and business partner Susann Sills unresponsive at the bottom of the stairs. An initial investigation revealed some evidence that was consistent with an accidental fall. But as "48 Hours" correspondent Tracy Smith reports, other evidence pointed to something more sinister. DETECTIVE: How do you know she — she got an email? MARY-KATHERINE SILLS: I woke up and my dad was just like on the covers just laying there like there wasn't enough room to get in I guess. So, he was just laying there.
