Cities throughout California will have to impose mandatory restrictions on outdoor watering under an emergency state rule approved Tuesday.
Saying that it was time to increase conservation in the midst of one of the worst droughts in decades, the State Water Resources Control Board adopted drought regulations that give local agencies the authority to fine those who waste water up to $500 a day.
Many Southern California cities, including Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and Long Beach, already have mandatory restrictions in place.
But most communities across the state are still relying on voluntary conservation, and Californians in general have fallen far short of meeting Gov. Jerry Brown’s January call for a 20% cut in water use.

What’ll happen is an HOA will fine you for having a dead lawn and the county will fine you for watering it.
Will they monitor toilet flushing and showers next?
who was Gubinor in the last great drought?
If its brown flush it down
Who’s now Gubinor again?
See a pattern?
How many storage facilities did he build back then?
How many this go around?
California suffers from worse than a drought in rain..
It suffers from near sighted pretenders and voters
As doped out as they were back in the 70s
Reading the new “law”, the main offenders of water waste, GOLF COURSES, will only be restricted to nighttime watering, which happens already in most cases.
How convenient.
Is Hollyweird exempt?
Is government exempt?
Are government schools exempt?
They’ll probably check your water meter from the last time to see the difference. Long time ago in Santa Barbara, CA they introduced water rationing and people would put a brick in their toilet tank and other saving devices. Well water consumption did go down as well as the revenue. So SB increased the rates.
Instead of trying to get an effin bullet train built...maybe these jackasses need to figure out how to make ocean water fresh and pipe it throughout California.
can u imagine if Doomberg was the Gubernator of Callyfornia?
No water in Cally,and they want to divide it up into 6 states?,sounds like a future water war.
When it starts raining again, it’s a safe bet that no matter how hard it rains, the bureaucrats will say that the rain is not relieving the drought and will try to maintain the restrictions. That has happened at the end of every drought in California since the 1970’s.
I suppose that it would be ridiculous of me to assume that part of the reason for the water shortage is the addition of 20 million illegals to their population. They may not bathe or wash their clothes regularly but I would suspect that they, on occasion, do flush the toilet.

$100 billion on that damn useless choo-choo would have built a LOT of dams and canals. The state has tripled population in 60 years, but hardly any new water infrastructure has been built. That’s what happens when you let the environazis take over.
It must be Global Warming. Moonbats believe in it, fine them for it.
The first story was about the states turning off drinking water and closing restroom is state parks to save water.
The next was the opening of a massive new multi-million dollar swimming pools (10) complex in intercity LA
This winter in northern California it was way below normal. The local news was lamenting the fact that Ruth Lake, the reservoir for Eureka/ Arcata was only 1/2 full. We had a late storm system come thru and it dumped quit a bit of rain. Afterwards the local news said this made no difference in the drought conditions. Two days later they said Ruth Lake was full.
Do you take part in the people powered machine race?
LOL, no I have not.
