Millions of California residents are about to be hit with strict water rationing enforced with huge fines. In one district, the new limit is 50 gallons per person, per day – a sharp reduction from current consumption.

The California government even promises to use satellite photography to determine how much water your landscaping “should” be using, and you’ll be heavily fined for exceeding that allocation:

“In July, the State Water Resources Control Board passed stage one emergency regulations, giving powers to all local water agencies to fine $500 per violation,” reports the San Gabriel Valley Tribune. [1]
Keep in mind that these are only “stage one” emergency regulations. Stages two and three have yet to be invoked and will only become more severe.
The amount of water each household is allowed by water districts will be determined by government employees viewing satellite imagery of private properties, then calculating how much water that property should be allowed to use.
“Using census records, aerial photography and satellite imagery, an agency can determine a property’s efficient water usage,” says the SGVT.
50 gallons per person, per day

In some districts, water rationing allocation is also based on the number of persons who are known to be living at each address based on U.S. Census data. The Irvine Ranch Water District allows 50 gallons of “indoor” water consumption per person in the home.
The indoor water allocation is 50 gallons per person per day and depends upon the number of residents in a home. Water allocated for landscape irrigation depends upon the type of home.
