Water rationing hits California: limit of 50 gallons per person per day or face fines of $500

Millions of Californians are about to be hit with strict water rationing -- daily "allocation" numbers that represent the maximum amount of water you're allowed to use for any purpose. Households that exceed the allocation limit will face stiff fines of hundreds of dollars per violation.

When the citizens of California truly wake up and realize where this is all headed, real estate prices will utterly collapse, leading to a collapse of local property tax revenues and the economic devastation of towns and cities. Many of those once-thriving towns will inevitably return to the desert from which they sprang.

California is destined to be just like the Sahara.

Do you have any articles that aren't highly selectively quoted and from a known pants-shitting-hysteria based website?

Now you're just taking the fun out of the sky is falling craziness....

I would also like to see some other sourcing besides the frequently wrong natural "news".

Republicans were rich enough to flee, Democrats are the ones holding the bag. See Detroit.

Natural news? The same guys who talk about flouridation, that our friend Stewox quotes from?

Where'd he go anyway? Banned?

I think he is waiting on his next set of rants from the Russian propaganda ministry. So it really isn't his fault when it turns out incorrect, he was just following orders.

That hoover dam will be empty soon.

If you think about it 50 gallons a day is a lot of water......now if it was 50 gallons a week....

Interesting read, the naturalnews.com offices must be located in one of the legal-pot-for-recreation states.

The bad news hasn't been made public yet, here in California.

50 gallons per person per day is a ginormous amt. If you're going over that, fuck you. And yes, I included toilet, clothes washing, showers, drinking, dish washing and, landscape. When it gets down to 20 gallons per person per day we'll talk.

hm...an average showerhead uses 7-10GPM, that means I must blow through an average of 200 gallons a day on showers alone O_O

That's what I was thinking.

the liberal idiots were told years ago they need at least three more Shasta sized hydro dams just to break even on their reckless immigration policies.

I thought modern showerheads, if untampered with, are 2.5GPM.

 

[Anubis]

according to the EPA website the average person uses 80-100 gallons a day

so it is a pretty big cut.

shit old none HE washers can use up to 50 gallons a load

actually you have no business being in the shower for more than a few minutes.....also where we live the toilets and shower fixtures have to be low flow..... 7 to 10 gpm seems really like a lot of water...

Average on what planet? 7 to 10 GPM is a torrential downpour a la Amazon basin. Most are in the 2.5 GPM range. Of course, if you live in a place where water usage is not a consideration, go for it.

The link I looked at said conventional =7-10gpm, efficient = 2-4gpm

The day I cannot take 15 minute hot showers is the day I start planning my move out of CA.

I highly doubt this bad boy only outputs 2.5GPM, if it does then that is freaking amazing:
