Governor Jerry Brown is retiring but not before he passes a few draconian laws as parting gifts for California. Two bills were signed into law on Thursday of last week to “help California be better prepared for future droughts and the effects of climate change.”
The mandatory water conservation standards will be permanent, according to their wording, and not just for use in times of crisis. To make a long story short, now that these bills are law, it’s illegal to take a shower and do a load of laundry in the same day because you’ll exceed your “ration.”
HERE’S THE WORDING OF THE NEW LAWS.
Senate Bill 606 establishes a “governing body” to oversee all water suppliers, both private and public and will require extensive paperwork from those utility companies.

But you can shower and go to the laundromat, right?
ReplyDeleteYou get two sets of clothes. One's wet from showering in it. The other one's dry and ready to wear after yesterday's shower.

ReplyDeleteI thought water was the ultimate recyclable.
ReplyDeleteHere is why every government wants to control what you build, what you do, what you collect and how you think. People 50 years ago would never stand for something like this. The people of today can't think for themselves. They expect the government to fix all their problems and wonder why they are miserable. They have let the government at the federal state and local level to control every privilege they once enjoyed. No one knows the definition of liberty.

Why don't they start making those in Beverly Hills fill in the huge swimming pools as a starting point. Oh, never mind. Rules don't apply to the wealthy behind their gated communities.
ReplyDelete7:24 go drink the effluent from a laundromat and tell me if it's recyclable lol
ReplyDelete8:08 You drink the effluent everyday from a sewer. Water from the sewer treatment plant goes into the river. That water eventually seeps into a aquifer somewhere or evaporates and becomes rain that falls into a reservoir or is pumped directly from a river and treated to be used as potable water. That is what I mean by recyclable. Even if you have a well pumping from an aquifer that water has gone through a process of recycling.
