“You shampoo your head immediately and then wash the body with a bar of soap. All off in less than 5 minutes.”


Soak body then STOP water. Wash the body with a toilet glove and soap first and shampoo the head last to avoid soap on eyes. Then reopen water and rinse (I always rinse with 100% cold water, winter or summer). It’s more like 2 minutes max than 5 minutes.
I do it since I was adolescent and feel vindicated when I had to do it as conscript in the Army.

In 2022, the new indoor water standard will be 55 gallons per person, per day. by 2030, it will fall to 50 gallons.

Because it's a scientific fact that once you flush a toilet, that water is gone forever.

“Millions of clogged toilets in CaCa’s future. Invest in RotoRooter now.
Poop on the sidewalk to help save the environment. And, its legal too.”

People will convert to dry toilets. 21st century version of what we called an outhouse back on the farm....

Sounds prudent.

It appears places with nice weather year-round tend to elect politicians with only the most scant view of reality possible.

I’m sure the elite in politics and in Hollywood will abide by this.

But, these restrictions cannot apply to illegal citizens. That would be racist!

An old simple but true method of saving water -

Follow Kramer's idea, stack your dirty dishes in the shower with you......

it did say INSIDE the home. Well it is California, the weather is nice most of the year. I would install an outdoor shower, shitter and kitchen - problem solved

Oh, there will be plenty enough for millenials to take a long shower. Just not enough to wash 10 loads of laundry and water the tomato plants.

Two of us in the household and we don’t waste a lot of water - still use about 65 gallons each per day in an average month...

Advise to non-Californians. Keep you old shower heads. They work better than much of the newer crap.

My favorite shower heads came with instructions on how to pop out the flow restrictor "where permitted".

I think the EPA got wise and required the flow restrictors to be unremovable now. Unfortunately, the little passages in the shower head clog up over time if you live in an area with hard water, so old shower heads won't last forever. (Fortunately, I managed to snag a case of the old shower heads on ebay.)

3/5 of the planet is covered with water. Too much water is more of a problem than too little. An average of 3,536 people drown in non-boating related accidents in the US each year. Too little water isn't a problem unless you decide to live in a city built in the middle of a desert.

Will they cut off the water once the resident reaches their monthly ration?

So "Sunny California" becomes "Smelly California"!

There’s a state gun range I go to that has Clivus Multrum composting toilets. No thanks.

They were a big thing with Greenie ecologist / back to nature types 35-40 years ago.

When we see the elites lawns turning brown we’ll know there is a crisis.

Follow Kramer's idea ...

Simple solutions to many problems are found in a Seinfeld episode somewhere.

The funny thing is, the law will not apply to illegals or gimmi-dats.

Dead lawns, dirty clothes and smelly bodies. It didn’t take long to destroy paradise, did it?
