    The water isn't going to lawns and pools

    Where ever did you get that impression of CA? The Beverly Hillbillies? "Hills, that is. Swimmin pools, movie stars." Seriously, CA water goes to CA agribusiness. We've turned the desert of the central valley into agribiz and that takes a lot of water. I suppose you could call that pools and lawns for the rich, but it also provides food.

    When lo-flow toilets were first introduced, they were a little dicey. But the design has improved and I've never had any issue with them since. We installed some in our home that are efficient, quiet and reduced our water bill. As for those of you who have to flush twice, you crap too much. Obviously you crap too much. Just look at our forum here. It's so full of your crap.

    50% of potable water used in L.A. goes to maintaining landscaping. Once they started restricting watering in 2008, the water usage dropped to 1979 levels, despite having 1 million more residents.

    Nevertheless, 85% of San Francisco's potable water is imported, which essentially means it is not self-sufficient and therefore rationing makes perfect sense.

    True that

    We've had water issues for years. There's always been a north/south split with the SF Bay Area and LA. Locals here place a lot of blame on LA for stealing our water, but agribiz takes the biggest gulp before SF or LA ever gets a swallow.

    Truth be told, I just chimed in here because I wanted to say to everyone "Obviously you crap too much. Just look at our forum here. It's so full of your crap." Debate me against that now, MK.

    Thanks MK. Thanks a lot.

    Reminds me of my pilgrimage to India. Only we didn't have gum wrappers.
