I don't think me and my wife use over 2000 gallons a month and some to spare. We wash the car, showers every night, laundry when clothes are dirty.
I saw a program a year or so ago that said Calis problems are from not constructing as many dams as they should have and all the rainfall is just running through to the ocean. Now they are paying for it.
The chickens are coming home to roost for my friends in Cali. They can always move to Wisconsin.

This is California, things aren't that simple. They did this, temporarily, about 30 years ago. The reduction was a percentage, 20% I think. I fought back and told CWS that we'd just had a baby and now had an
au pair living with us. They raised our allotment. Not long after they implemented this they raised the rates because they were losing money (LA's DWP had just spent a couple of million dollars on a meeting table). When the restriction went away, the higher rates did not.
Not only are they
not building new reservoirs, they have been removing old ones for decades.

There are a dozen roads across the Colorado River and only 3 major ones. It wouldn't be hard for AZ to stop them.

Frankly, I think there should be a strict 10-yr moratorium (quarantine) period for anyone coming from the communist regions of Kalifornia before they can partake in any political activities aside from voting.

I agree. The year that we moved to AZ from CA was an election year and we were immediately eligible to vote. The only local and state candidate that we recognized on the ballot was Sheriff Deaver . . . and he'd just been killed. Most people from CA would go ahead and vote for anyone with a "D" next to their name. We didn't vote for the "R"s because we just didn't know anything about them. We did vote for Sheriff because we did our homework on him and, while he's no Deaver as a personality, he has continued Deaver's mission locally.
