When the Irvine Ranch Water District computes how much water you really should be using, the maximum allocation is based on that happy-family-of-four model.

Now, should you have more than four people in your (single family detached) household, you may request what is called a formal variance. But be prepared. Officials won’t just take your word for it.

“Attach proof of permanent residency for each person in the household,” .. “Proof may be children’s birth certificates, school records, blank checks with preprinted name and address, copies of income tax returns, drivers license, lease agreements, etc.”

You want more water? Lots of available ocean water begging to be desalinated in So Cal.
