The Las Virgenes Municipal Water District, which serves Westlake Village, Calabasas, Agoura Hills and Hidden Hills, is going after its customers that refuse to conserve.
The district has asked its customers to use about 80 to 85 gallons per day -- some customers are using more than 200 gallons a day.
"A flow restrictor is something that will allow a less amount of water to go into the home. And what people can experience will be showers that are more trickling out, water coming out of your sink that's slower," said Mike McNutt, with the Las Virgenes Municipal Water District."Most importantly, it pretty much irradicates the ability for your irrigation system to function. So instead of having it spray out, it's just going to basically, barely bubble out.
McNutt says that 70% of water usage by their customers is for outdoor watering. The Metropolitan Water District, which supplies water to millions of Southern California customers, including Las Virgenes, will restrict outdoor watering to one day a week beginning June 1, 2022. Stephen Johnson told Eyewitness News that he's already cut back on outdoor water usage at his Westlake Village home.
