California Governor Jerry Brown signed two bills that will force water districts and municipalities to permanently adopt even more aggressive water rationing level than during the state’s 5-year drought.
The San Jose Mercury News reported that Brown issued a press statement that a changing environment means the state must begin to conserve water resources in preparation for the next drought. Brown started: “We have efficiency goals for energy and cars – and now we have them for water.”
Gov. Brown signing AB 1668 sponsored by Assemblywoman Laura Friedman (D-Glendale) and SB 606 sponsored by Senator Robert Hertzberg (D-Van Nuys), will require California’s urban water districts, large agricultural water districts and municipal governments to develop plans for strict annual water budgets by January 1, 2020; start implementing long-term water use efficiency standards by June 30, 2022; and achieve their assigned water rationing goals beginning in 2027.
Water conservation director for the Natural Resources Defense Council Tracy Quinn said that the combined daily indoor and outdoor water use has already dropped from 109 gallons a day in 2013, to about 90 gallons a day in 2017.

Californians are going to be getting an up close and personal relationship with Socialism. Only the layabouts will like what Socialism is........spongeing off the hard working people in the state. ‘It’s ok, I don’t need a shower or clean clothes, as long as I am helping the environment’. Perhaps it will start a Red Wave......we can only hope.
Jerry can use his four-engine jet to fly to Reno as often as he needs to, and take a shower. Heaven forbid that he should use his privileged position to violate the law.
