(Meredith/CBS13) A new law passed in California will soon limit the number of gallons of water a person is allowed to use per day.
By 2022, residents in California will be limited to 55 gallons per person, per day. In 2013, the number of gallons used is expected to fall to 50.
According to CBS13, California is the first state across the country to institute tough, water-efficiency standards like this.
With a child and every day having to wash clothes, thats not feasible. Thats my opinion, Tanya Allen, the mother of a -four-year-old, told CBS13. But I get it and I understand that were trying to preserve. But 55 gallons a day?
How many gallons?!
With the newly passed law, many people are asking if 55 gallons a day is enough. CBS13 broke down just how much water an average home uses:
An eight-minute shower uses about 17 gallons of water. One load of laundry uses about 40. Taking a bath can use anywhere between 80 and 100 gallons of water.
I think the average new home is 35 gallons per person, per day, so we are not talking emergency conservation here, Chair of the State Water Resources Control Board Felicia Marcus told CBS13.
Ways to cut back
One solution to the water problem is retrofitting homes with more efficient water fixtures, which would help in cutting back water usage. Another solution is for officials to fix leaks and educate residents.
We lose up to 30 percent of urban water just to leaks in the system, Greg Bundesen, who works with the Sacramento Suburban Water District, said. Some people may not be aware that youre going to use a lot more water in a bath. Its our job to make sure theyre informed.
The new law also requires water districts to perform tests on their water supply and systems to make sure they arent too stressed.
“A new law passed in California will soon limit the number of gallons of water a person is allowed to use per day.”
That’s B.S.
The California laws does no such thing.
If the CA gobmint did timely maintenance on the Oroville Dam spillway...a gazillion gallons would have been saved.
So apparently if you have diarrhea, an enlarged prostate, or shower after the gym you can get arrested in California now.
This law applies to water districts, not individuals. The limits per person are used to determine an aggregate number for the water district.
There’s a lot of fake news concerning this law.
Just take a dump in the streets. Everyone is doing it in LA and San Fran

Posted in three previous threads. FALSE.
...
Yep. It’s fake news.
And Californians don't forget:
"You may use only one square of toilet paper per day."
Any violations of these rules and you will be SHOT!
“So apparently if you have diarrhea, an enlarged prostate, or shower after the gym you can get arrested in California now.”
No.
That is not the case.
You simply misunderstand the legislation.
limit of one sheet per toilet visit
How to find a Democrat controlled city without a gps:
Keep going until you smell it, then slow down when you step in it. You’re there.
These Yankees will be moving to mostly Red states. Texas is only one.
“Yep. Its fake news.”
Glad you see that < / s >
1.
“Texas is only one”
Lots of areas is Texas have watering restrictions and in Teas, they will fine you for watering at certain times.
“Lots of areas is Texas have watering restrictions and in Texas, they will fine you for watering at certain times.”
Kalifornia is going full totalitarian. Everything not prohibited is compulsory.
This law is needed to make everyone and every place stink like SF...
How about modernizing and increasing the reservoir system.
“Great, another two million people moving to Texas!”
Cities in Texas have more stringent watering restrictions.
For example, Midland, Texas, a city that votes more than 80% Republican, fines you $500.00 for watering you lawn at certain times.
ASK EVERY LIBERAL / DEMOCRAT POLITICIAN (1) should new dams be built (2) should existing dams be demolished to save the fishes (3) should no action be taken (4) are you in favor of the new water usage limit?
“Kalifornia is going full totalitarian. Everything not prohibited is compulsory.”
Watering restrictions and fines in Texas are far more severe.
