As strict water restrictions took effect in Los Angeles on June 1, not all residents were on board with the rules. Some residents observed the new restrictions on lawn watering, while others were less supportive and thought that they would rather just pay the fines for violating the rules.
An estimated 14,000 trees died in Los Angeles’ city parks alone, due to watering restrictions during the previous drought. City officials have underscored the importance of watering trees amid the current drought.
