Why wouldn’t they simply tax water use at progressive rates? If you use a lot of water, you have to pay a lot of money (ideally, towards water processing services).
Doing low-flow laws makes for easy loophole setups like this, not to mention simply buying a device in/from another state. I doubt their cops are kicking down doors for Suspicion of High-Flow Toilet.
They do have different rates depending on usage, at least here in Jersey, but those rates are basically 0-3000 gallons, 3000-10000, and 10000 and beyond, for example. So what I’m saying is they’re very high and basically only distinguish between residential, commercial, and agricultural. Although I shouldn’t say agricultural, because they often need to get special permits and pay different rates altogether.
how to get around low-flow shower head laws.

Apparently they need a better rate structure if they’re having to use low-flow laws as a crutch.
Sorry, what does that mean? I don’t speak Californian.
they put a plastic or metal doohickey where the shower head connects to the pipe to limit water flow.
I’m a lot more worried about agriculture and golf course water usage (and runoff) than I am the shower gallons.
My comment was intended as a joke that is relevant to the image posted.
Would you like to spread other true but unrelated propaganda, like meat farms or other agricultural efforts taking up water?
I think Kramer knows a guy.
I’m not an elephant though.
