Big water problems in California

Three years into the drought in California -- there are BIG problems.

Parts of the state are now under extreme restrictions - 150 gallons per day per household. It doesn't matter if you live alone, or have a complete family.

150 gallons? That is not a lot of water.

You're talking about a 15 minute shower or 3 small loads of laundry. Can you imagine having a family of 4? That's less than 5 minutes per shower and you can use NO other water all day long. No dishes, no laundry -- nothing.

Each house gets two warnings. If you go over the allotment more than twice -- your water gets cut off.

And we all thought Charlotte's water restrictions were tight last summer. Lets hope it doesn't get that bad here!
