As the blog Zero Hedge put it, "it's now
Perhaps the state wants everyone to feel like the drug addicts living in California's ever-expanding homeless tent cities?
Zero Hedge reported, "Assembly Bill 1668 is where it gets personal. This establishes limits on indoor water usage for every person in California and the amount allowed will decrease even further over the next 12 years. 'The bill, until January 1, 2025, would establish 55 gallons per capita daily as the standard for indoor residential water use, beginning January 1, 2025, would establish the greater of 52.5 gallons per capita daily or a standard recommended by the department and the board as the standard for indoor residential water use, and beginning January 1, 2030, would establish the greater of 50 gallons per capita daily or a standard recommended by the department and the board as the standard for indoor residential water use ...'"
To give you perspective on how much water basic chores require, the station noted an eight-minute shower uses about 17 gallons of water, a load of laundry up to 40, and a bathtub can hold 80 to 100 gallons of water.
As the state rations the water of the average of family, making it impossible for everyone to shower and wash clothes, let alone use water to wash the dishes, and perform any myriad of other efforts to keep a home clean and a family healthy, it's the state itself and its crumbling infrastructure that is the biggest waster of water.
In 2014, during the drought,

Rich progtards are blatant hypocrites.
I too don't see the rules being enforced equally for everyone.
^^A cap and trade for water. Californians are saving the planet. :laugh3:
I will assume people that use more than the daily limit will simply just be billed extra? Kinda like if I go over my monthly internet data cap?
In that case, the rich won't care. They'll just pay more. The poor will feel the hit though.
In one way it's good to live where I live. Plenty of water. In fact, we don't even use water meters in my municipality. The entire water use of the municipality is just divided and billed to everyone at the same rate.
Unbelievable, California must be taking lessons with Brazoo.
Over here, it's the same with electricity.

It says it's against the law. Perhaps there are fines levied. At any rate, California is a shit hole.
