FULL TITLE: New California Law Limits How Much Water People Can Use – Including Monitoring Toilet Flushes, Showers

California Governor Jerry Brown signed a new law that would severely restrict the amount of water people can use inside of their homes.

The government of California will now be monitoring people’s toilet flushes, showers and laundry use.

Under the new water use limits, each person will barely have enough ‘daily water allowance’ to do one load of laundry and take an 8 minute shower.

This also covers outdoor use so no watering your lawns or gardens, peasants.

There will soon be more focus on flushes and scrutiny over showers with a new law signed in by the governor.

This law is an end run around Christians, it’s not to save water.

Christian people often invite friends from church over to visit. These guests use the bathroom.

Christian people frequently invite visiting preachers or missionaries to stay at their homes during their visit. They use bathroom, shower, meals and laundry.

Christian people sometimes have house churches where others are there on a regular basis for worship. Bathrooms and maybe meal prep and cleanup.

Christian people frequently have regular home Bible study sessions. Bathroom, meal prep and cleanup.

This is just another attempt by radical atheists to eliminate Christianity through subtle means.

California is a social experiment designed to determine how much liberty can removed from the test subject through incrementalism before the test subject snaps. My parents and grandparents would instead be looking for new sources of water. They were "makers", not "takers".

> So no one in California will be allowed house guests either. <

That is an excellent observation. The article doesn’t say how the new water rules will be enforced. So I’m guessing it will be number of people in your household times 55 gallons.

Go over that daily limit, and you’ll be fined. Keep going over that limit, and it’s jail time.

But what about house guests? Maybe you should just tell them to use the Starbucks facilities.

Soon, a limit to how much money a person can have. They will set a limit, and take a percentage of what’s over the limit. No, I have no confirmation of this. It’s how leftists think.

Obviously water is immune to the law of supply and demand.

Easy. Just go to Starbucks to poop and pee, and wash up in the sink.

I’ve wondered how they are going to allocate the water and enforce the law. My first guess was the daily limit would be: number of people in your household times 55 gallons. Go over that daily limit, and it’s San Quentin for you.

But maybe they’ll do it by square footage instead. That way Babs can sit alone in her huge mansion and use all the water she wants.

***and take an 8 minute shower. ***

At California’s campgound showers you get 7 minutes for .25 cents (2002 prices)

I found I could drop in the coin, soak, soap, shave, rinse in 6 1/2 minutes.

So, they need to modify their lifestyle to accommodate the new rules.
1.Do dishes by hand, save the water to flush.
2.Get an old fashioned ringer washer in which you do all your loads in one tub. whites first, then coloreds, then others. Save all water in tubs to flush. (Didn’t know laundry could be so “raicis”).

We learned these tricks years ago when the well went dry in the hot summer.
3. Do like Australia...”If it’s yellow, let it mellow. If it’s brown, flush it down.”

But if it is like California in the past, the citizens must do without while the Government lawns are greener than green, and the minnows happy.

Desalinization plants would make a lot of sense in California, but so would using more of their available fresh water that they dump into the ocean.

They are caught in a catch-22. Desalinization requires electricity and electricity is bad to them. Collecting and using more of their fresh water is seen as a bad environmental move.

They will take the easy route that best serves their big government control model. Regulate water usage and tax the hell out of it. Everyone but the consumer is left happy.

It would be a lot cheaper to simply grow fewer crops there. Agriculture used vastly more water than residential homes.

And as usage goes down rates will increase due to lower revenue so how’s that going working out? Paying more for less.
