BreitbartCA: The number of penalties issued to water wasters during California’s record drought has decreased as most water agencies have successfully complied with a mandatory order to cut water use by 25 percent statewide.
However, the state’s complex water management system has created a scenario in which individuals who have cut back the most are often fined, while rich super-users pay to consume as much water as they want.
The latest report from the State Water Resources Control Board indicates that statewide compliance and enforcement actions issued against water wasters dropped from 92,868 in August to 77,763 in September, as the state exceeded Gov. Jerry Brown’s mandatory cutback target for a fourth straight month.
But the decrease in issued penalties is of little comfort to Apple Valley resident Debbie Alberts, who, despite having cut her water use by more than half this year, told the New York Times that she pays hefty “drought surcharges” on a water bill that can routinely reach hundreds of dollars. Alberts’s last bill included a surcharge of nearly $80, putting the total bill above $330. read more
That’s socialism in microcosm, the commie party always got all the goodies, the rest of the people get to stand in line for a lump of beef tallow for dinner
Shouldn’t that be free rain?
Get it
Rain?
Sorry
You couldn’t pay me enough to live in that fucked up state. Well you could, but I’d take the money and run.
Hay…. My Buddy Brad lives there
An he bad
That’s how I feel living in Minnesota. Not quite so bad as CA because our mentally deficient Governor has to fight some in our congress to get what he wants. But I’ll almost guarantee that we will be stuck with the max amount of ethanol in our gas as soon as it’s available. Dayton is some special kind of stupid.
I feel for you, California.
We never had water problems when I lived in that socialist dictatorship. But it was still controlled by Americans back then.
I pay nothing for water now. In the process of cleaning out two 330 gallon totes right now, which are currently full of clean rain water. Tomorrow I will empty them out and I predict that they will be full of rain water again by Thursday night.
In regards to the water that will be drained out on the ground, I offer a special discount for Californians this week: only $16 per gallon, plus shipping and handling. 🙂 And no fluoride. Imagine that if you can.
Wait, I almost forgot … It’s ORGANIC WATER too!!!!!!! (hat tip: Bubba’s Brother). So , …. $20 a gallon, not 16.
lol
Rain water is not clean.
Trust me
Water causes plastic to leach chemicals the
Plastic is made out of.
Test your rain water for PVC
It’s the thinner, more flexible plastics that leech chemical into water when they are heated. Most cities use plastic water delivery lines.
My water is cleaner than what you can buy in the store:

H8A! You should be grateful to your benevolent overlords. You might go hungry, but you could make a candle out of that tallow to be able to see inside your cardboard box at night.
