In the land of multimillion-dollar homes, the question of water conservation plays out differently than in the neighborhoods where the rest of us live.
Water suppliers in parts of Southern California were ordered to impose severe water restrictions. Details of the new rules are starting to take shape.for millions of residents across the region, Las Virgenes staff recommended that residents water their lawns just one day per week., shrinking usage to about 80 gallons per person per day.
One man, who questioned why the district was being reactive instead of proactive, said that in his job as a company vice president, “I proactively think of how to save the company, rather than ‘Oh, the company is dying and I need to save it now.’” In an interview after the town hall, Pedersen acknowledged the tensions among residents in the water district.Despite official calls for conservation, California cities and towns increased water use by 19% in March.
Before the end of this month, at least 20 to 40 of the most flagrant violators will have flow restrictors installed, Pedersen said. The plate placed on the water meter will limit the amount of water that passes through and make outdoor watering impossible. In response to several questions about pools, district employees urged residents to use pool covers to minimize evaporation. They explained to frustrated customers that golf courses and public parks still look green because they utilize recycled water.
