It isn't. Afaik, there isn't a single water restriction plan in any CA jurisdiction (I've been looking). Also, the "builder's remedy" specifically avoids EIRs

Also, the "builder's remedy" specifically avoids EIRs of almost all types, including traffic and parking.
- toast0 4y agoIf I understand correctly, the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District is subject to an order from the (California) State Water Resources Control Board which prevents it from allowing new water meters[1]. New house construction in most communities with municipal water service will not be issued final approval without being connected to the water service; so this effectively prevents new construction. I strongly suspect (but have no evidence) that an onsite private well would be prohibited as well. The City of Monterey has a page[2] describing this as well as a published wait list [3], with the first project having submitted in 2003. I don't know if they deny construction permits, but you'd have to be pretty foolish to actually construct residences that can't be legally occupied because they lack potable water.
