Every drop of water in the Las Virgenes Municipal Water District travels 400 miles to residents' faucets, so officials have amped up patrols for those who might be unwittingly wasting water or who have ignored officials' repeated warnings.
More than 6 million people are now under tough new water rules, as California's devastating drought drags on, and at least some water districts are already starting to enforce their new guidelines. The hunt is on for water wasters in the Las Virgenes water district.
Every drop of water in the Las Virgenes Municipal Water District travels 400 miles to residents' faucets, so officials have amped up patrols for those who might be unwittingly or uncaringly wasting water. It wasn't hard to find. Even though Wednesday was supposed to be a non-sprinkler day, there was plenty of evidence of water usage. Some sprinkler heads were still bubbling. There was water on the sidewalk and even the smell of wet lawns.
The biggest offenders are easier to spot by their water bills, which was why on Wednesday, the district also started installing flow restriction devices that cover the pipe and reduce the flow of water to just a trickle. "We sent all of them a message, a voicemail, a text, an email to let them know this is happening," said Mike McNutt with the Las Virgenes Municipal Water District."Your irrigation systems are not going to be able to function. The water coming out of your faucets at home is going to be minimized. Your shower is going to come out as a trickle.
