How will the State of California know how many people are in each house?

What will they do about people on private wells those out in the country ?

Same as before -- nothing. To folks in CA with their own well, Water Restrictions are just an article in the paper about other people.

When I got out, one of the things I vowed is that I would never take a Navy Shower again.

Well, their environmental policies and horrible water management has done this to them.

I would say this kind of thing should elect politicians who vow to reject it and increase the supply by any possible means. Maybe it will hurt the idiotic environmentalists out there.

If it doesn’t, the citizens deserve what they get.

Yeah, it’s easy to take the restrictor out of the shower head. In fact the cheapie one works best for me. We have a private water company with 150 customers,3 wells and three 45,000 tanks. Our water is the best I have ever tasted and it’s not treated. Also we don’t have to follow the cap on how much you use. I am a member of the board and our biggest problem is to stay independent. Calwater’s system comes within 25ft.of our HOA. They are a multinational French owned company and they want our system so they can blend our good water with their’s to achieve tested quality. Water has always been a precious resource in the west and a point of contention.

This could be a great job booster for government.

I don’t know what they do now, but I heard from family that on subs there’s a guy outside the shower that turns the water off after 60 seconds.

We’re at Peak Water!

There’ll never be anymore. Life, as we know it, is over. Thank goodness Nixon l, in all his wisdom, instituted the EPA. All reputable scientists agree that without the EPA, life on earth would have been extinguished by the Ice Age predicted by their peers in the 1970s. Furthermore, the water saving efforts in low and no flow bathrooms has averted the lowering of oceans and the associated capsizing of inhabited islands such as Guam.

If it weren’t for evil people extending showers or flushing twice, earth would now be as pristine and fecund as the Garden of Eden. Lions and sheep would have cavorted together in green pastures as noble savages ate arugula together in paradise. All this is lost because you selfishly refuse your 1.6 GPH shower and 1.2 toilets. The horror!

the restrictor can easily be drilled out to increase the showerhear flow rate

Had the Seinfeld crew known how to do anything, a whole epiode would have been invalid

Another example of “...elections have consequences”. When they elect A holes and communists to office, this is the kind of nonsense you can expect.

If one person living alone took and shower and did a load of laundry, they couldn’t flush their toilet that day? Or are the political geniuses assuming bathing and laundry water will be saved for other uses?

Hello California,

Colorado just called, they are on the line,
they have decided to keep their own water.

Oh, and diverting natural rivers is just so anti-environmental.

And do not call collect again.

Such is the continued “Venezuelazation” of the once great U.S. state California. I now wonder if there’s a pollutant or some other poison in that rationed water that destroys the human mind, causing the slow painful onset of insanity.

The sad definition of a deadly mix of insanity and inanity… causing the destroyed mind to pursue long failed and murderous political policies, convinced they’ll “work this time cause we’re ‘better’ people”. Orwell weeps!

No more celeb parties where they invite 50 or 100 of their “closest friends.” Well, maybe if they rent a line of porta potties in the driveway....

A few years ago, I think there was a FR thread about it becoming illegal in CA to collect rainwater. Or maybe you’d be taxed more if you collected rainwater.

If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet.
