v 2.4.3.0

Enforcement of water restrictions in California has varied across the state. For example, a resident of Apple Valley was fined for excessive water use, despite nearly halving her family’s water use, bringing consumption down to 178 gallons of water per person per day. Meanwhile a wealthy Bel Air resident has used more than 30,000 gallons of water daily and has not been fined. None of Los Angeles’ heaviest water users have been fined. While all California communities must conserve water, some water hogs with lush lawns or multiple pools have used water profligately and those in poorer neighborhoods have scrimped and been fined, despite their best efforts.
