Sad thing is, there are thousands of homes/estates just like OW's.

They are taken into considerations of the small 10 percentage of household water usage?

Doesn't seem like it.

If her bill was $150K, that's much more than the average.

Besides fines, they should turn water off when used in excess like that.

Unless she gets it shipped in. Then she's a deserving one percenter.

No different than Gore and his huge home he had in TN that used massive amounts of electricity and water. I guess he still has it. Or maybe Tipper got it in the divorce settlement. I don't keep up with him but I've seen numerous reports about it over the years. Doesn't practice what he preaches.

Oh yes, I remember the fiasco. Everyone here remembers it.

I mean wasn't it Al Gore who made climate change or global warming a household word?

I'm sure he keeps his electricity to an absolute minimum now.

And doesn't flush every time.... Wink

Another eco-hypocrite like Robert Redford.....

It, not only CA. Lake Mead very low, that supports Las Vegas.

Las Vegas gets little water from Lake Mead. It mostly go to California.

I don't know where you got your information from but, 85% of water for Las Vegas comes from Lake Mead.

There are 43,123 pools in the L.A. Basin roughly from San Pedro to the Hollywood Hills and Malibu to Alhambra, without including the San Fernando Valley, half of the San Gabriel Valley nor the Inland Empire.

According to their study, “The Big Atlas of LA Pools,” Long Beach had the most pools, 2,859, followed by Rancho Palos Verdes, 2,592; Beverly Hills, 2,481, and surprisingly, Downey, 2,078.

A few years ago there was a scheme to take water from Lake Michigan to Vegas. Justification was the Great Lakes had plenty. At the time the had falling lake levels so that idea was shut down fast.

THANK GOD!
