Does California reverse the increase in water bills now that it’s no longer in a drought? Or is the increase permanent?

- ceejayoz 3y agoDroughts will come again; there's absolutely no reason not to continue to encourage water conservation.
- Clubber 3y ago>Droughts will come again; there's absolutely no reason not to continue to encourage water conservation. California could encourage water conservation with tax breaks, no?
- brokensegue 3y agoThey are mathematically equivalent
- Clubber 3y agoNot necessarily. They could add a surcharge over a threshold amount rather than just charging everyone more, even people who conserve water. $1 / gallon for the first 100 gallons $2 / gallon for every gallon over 100 When they just make water more expensive, they are also punishing the people who conserve water. Really it sounds like just a tax grab.
- aurareturn 3y agoWhy don't we raise it to an astronomical level so we can conserve even more? /s
- ceejayoz 3y agoWe should absolutely do that to the agricultural concerns raising alfalfa in the desert to mostly ship to China, Japan, and Saudi Arabia.
- aurareturn 3y agoHow about $10,000/month in water bill for the average home? That ought to help conserve water.
- ceejayoz 3y agoWhat, exactly, is your goal here?
