Nope, not true.
“Individuals will not be responsible for State Water Resources Control Board fines. Instead, the State Water Board can fine water agencies up to $10,000 per day if the agency does not meet its cumulative standard.
There is no law against showering and doing laundry on the same day.
There are no specific statewide laws that require individual households to meet any specific targets.”

“There are no specific statewide laws that require individual households to meet any specific targets - yet.”
Fixed.
But those fined water agencies will pass those fine amounts onto individual consumers’ water bills in one form or another.
I keep seeing this rebuttal which is technically accurate but still misses the point and IMHO just as badly as what it is rebutting.
The downstream effect will likely be the Water Company cutting of or restricting water resources. So regardless of the law being either on people or a Company the end effect will still be a heinous imposition on individuals trying to maintain basic needs.
Watch this about it from a local news about it.

So the state is putting the blame off on the water agencies to trickle down on the customers. Same cause and effect end result...
