The thing that really pisses me off is that cities will institute fines, but fines mean NOTHING to the super wealthy. They'll just see the fines as a cost of doing business, you know?

FUCK THEMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

Turn off their sprinklers or something, I swear to God...

[erin805]

Yes!!!!!!!!!! It should be at a certain point of overage boom no more sprinkler/hose water for uou!

[mhfromnh]

fines should be a percentage of their net worth

[solsty]

We’re experiencing a drought in my country and if they catch you watering your lawn they turn off your water! It’s drastic but it works.

They've been issued flow restricting devices, so that's something.

[yankeesarelove]

by 'issued' does that mean that the state installed it or they gave them for the celebs' team to install? because if its the latter...

[jojito]

Officials do the installation.

love to see it!

It's exactly why they should have just had their water use limited, to the 80 gallons per day per person recommended by the state, from the very beginning.

They should be cut off, like at a bar. They're so used to excess that I'd love to see them forced to follow rules lol.
