In the Navy, if you take a long shower and waste the ship's water then you are taking a "Hollywood Shower." You know things are crazy when you can't even take a Hollywood Shower in Hollywood!

Los Angeles should be embarrassed. The city has plenty of coastline. Instead of coddling illegal aliens, it should invest in a couple of desalinization plants and solve this problem.

Increase L.A.’s usable water supplies by 10%:
SEND ILLEGALS HOME.
(Reduces accidents, road congestion, pollution, and crime, too.)

Good idea...and they are!
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) is in the feasibility planning stages of evaluating seawater desalination as a potential water resource option for the City of Los Angeles.

Yeah but the real question is, do L.A. residents do #1 in the shower like George Costanza? Is it acceptable? I mean, it’s going down the drain anyway, right?

LA has wanted to tap the Great Lakes for years and know it seems they will be pushing for it even more. Thankfully the Constitution requires that a treaty between all Great Lakes states and Canada before anything can be done.

Desalination requires a lot of power. And they don't really have that much to spare. That is another thing that Los Angeles and California should be embarrassed about.

OWENS VALLEYTaylor Elliot lifts a big piece of Histosol. This site was a marsh, but a drop in the water table drained the soil, which is now severely eroded by wind.

That would be the sensible approach. I’ve seen commercials where they are being built in the mid-East. Qatar, I believe.

I cannot imagine the stench in LA with the NO Shower Left Behind act and Cheryl Crows “one Square per Sitting” thought process being implemented with an undercurrent of unbathing libs.........
Stinky puss_ is all I have to say.

FROM THE “NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED FILE”
I will remind everyone in LA that is a DWP customer the last time their was a drought they told people to cut back on their usage. Only to find out they did it so well they did not make the money they projected that year so they RAISED their water bill rates to cover their (obedient) budget short fall.
