Seems like over regulation, to me.



Why is that? CA has a drought emergency. If a cop or code officer
sees someone with a garden hose spewing into the street with no nozzle
while they are washing their car, why shouldn't they be able to tell them to stop? If you have regulations as to how much you can water a lawn,
I'd be mighty ****ed if I was complying and my AH neighbor was letting
a hose run water straight down the sewer.
