Your Water Bill May Go Up

In an effort to make people comply with the Executive Order, municipalities may be allowed to adjust their rate structure to make it more expensive to use water. Therefore, if you live in an urban area that raises rates, it’s in your best interest to limit the amount of water you use on a daily basis to avoid exorbitant water bills.

You May Get Fined

As of September 2015, the city of Calabasas has been issuing $100 citations to property owners not complying with municipal water mandates. Not surprising, many of the people not obeying the mandates are celebrities that don’t bat an eye at a $100 fine. However, most people living in urban centers throughout California are not filthy rich, and municipalities know this. Therefore, the $100 fine is a good incentive to let your yard turn brown.

New Appliances Will Temporarily Be Cheaper

Have you been putting off getting a new washing machine or dishwasher? Are you still messing with that 20-year-old water heater that needs repairs every few months? If your budget was stopping you from making new appliance purchases, Governor Brown’s Executive Order might have you heading to the appliance store sooner rather than later. The language of the Executive Order allows the California Energy Commission to work with state water agencies to offer limited time state-issued rebates to residents who purchase high-efficiency appliances. In layman’s terms, California is going to pay you to upgrade the appliances in your home. At Rooter Hero Plumbing, we believe it is everyone’s responsibility to ensure California doesn’t lose the battle against drought.
