The celebrities are among over 1,600 customers in Southern California who were served notices by the Las Virgenes Municipal Water District.
Some of the world’s most recognizable faces have been served with notices for repeatedly exceeding their monthly water budgets amid aKim and Kourtney Kardashian, Kevin Hart, Dwyane Wade and Sylvester Stallone were served with the notices for exceeding 150% of their monthly water budgets at least four times at their Southern California properties, said Michael McNutt, the Las Virgenes Municipal Water District’s communications manager.
“Visualize it: You have a 1-inch pipe with no restrictions, then we put on a flow restrictor — a stainless steel disk with a 1-inch diameter,” NcNutt said. “So water flows through that. Imagine how much your water pressure and water is reduced. More than anything, it completely removes the functionality of an outdoor irrigation system, and 70% of water consumption usually goes towards outdoor irrigation systems.
“We rely 100% on imported water, because we have no local source of water, and the drought is disproportionately impacting our area because of this, so we are serious about conserving water, because we have to.”
