The entire state is experiencing drought conditions. Yet, some who use 178 gallons per person each day are being fined. While others who use 30,000 gallons of water each day are not fined. This is due to the fact that the state has 411 separate water districts which make their own rules. Some districts are mainly middle or lower class, some in the 1%. In Bel Air one person used more than 11 million gallons of water in the year that ended April 1. The top 10 users in LA totaled over 80 million gallons a year.
I think California should adopt the Israeli practice of just one water authority.
