The Los Angeles Times obtained documents showing multiple celebrities are the biggest offenders when it comes to breaking water budgets.
The super-rich are overspending their water allocations amid dire warnings about water use and restrictions on watering outside. Some of the biggest names in Hollywood are some of the worst offenders, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Now the Las Virgenes Water District could put"flow meters" on their water lines to track their use and effectively shut off outdoor watering when they reach their limit. In California, basketball star Dwyane Wade and his wife Gabrielle Union told the Times they have been working to fix leaks in their pool and transition to drought-resistant landscaping. They exceeded their limit by 90,000 gallons, which is more than 1,400% of their allowance.
A spokesperson said it takes time to adapt entire properties to drought-resistance, but it still has to be done."The reason it doesn't need any irrigation is because once the roots are established they grow deep enough that they pull water up from underneath," said Luc Hatlestad, public information officer of Arapahoe County, Colorado.
"They have removed approximately 900 acres of grass from their courses that has helped them to better manage their water resources," said Bronson Mack, public information officer of the Las Vegas Valley water district.
