We should have started water rationing (if that is the correct word) four or five years ago and that is one negative I have for Gov. Brown. He turned a blind eye to our water consumption and more importantly unregulated usage of ground water. We have cut our watering down to two days a week and reduced the time to a third. Not much difference in the greenery and for good measure, ripped out the grass and planted bushes. Slowly converting to an all drip system which should reducing consumption further.
Imagine the amount of water we and our neighbors have been wasting regularly watering our lawns all these years. We have cut our water bill to a third of what it used to be in the peak of summer. Of course, this necessitates hand watering on some really hot days.
