In October 2014, The [[California State Water Resources Control Board|State Water Resources Control Board]] ordered the Hidden Valley Lake Community Services District to stop allowing new service connections to its water system due to concerns that, under current drought conditions, the district did not have enough water to meet future demands. The district, with about 2,500 connections, is a junior water rights holder in the [[Sacramento River]] and [[San Joaquin River]] watersheds.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.lakeconews.com/index.php?option=com_content&id=39046:temporary-moratorium-for-new-water-service-connections-ordered-in-hidden-valley-lake&Itemid=197 |title=Temporary moratorium for new water service connections ordered in Hidden Valley Lake |last=Lindblom |first=John |date=October 28, 2014 |work=Lake County News |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150911050624/http://www.lakeconews.com/index.php?option=com_content&id=39046%3Atemporary-moratorium-for-new-water-service-connections-ordered-in-hidden-valley-lake&Itemid=197 |archive-date=September 11, 2015 }}</ref> November 2020 the water moratorium was lifted and new water rights are currently available through the District, but at a much higher price point.
