50 gallons per person, per day San Diego Water rationing?

That seems like a bummer. My initial thoughts would be cut down on the need for water changes. Stuff like pothos to reduce nitrates, glass tops for all tanks to cut down evaporation and avoiding airflow on the tanks like fans and such. That said I'm not sure that would solve the problem. I'm also not sure how you could monitor the amount of water you are using, but I would try pump as much water as I could each day into a drum or something. You might have to start bathing in your tank water . Anyways best of luck man, that seems really difficult to work around.

Hmmm. Im in SD too, with 4 other adults, I do water changes for the two 100g going. Normally I would sacrifice a shower or two a week to justify water for the tanks. Not sure how I will do if this law is enforced. Already everyone uses tons of water and we don't use it outside of the house

Dang, I used 7000 gallons last month with 3 in the house. We don't water the lawn either. I would have a pretty tough time getting my wife to stop flushing and taking showers so I can clean tanks.

Geeze there are 6 people in our house and 8 tanks from 160 G down.

Our water bill was 357.00 last month.
Size of Meter Per Month
5/8" $15.00
The following rates shall apply per 100 gallons:
Gallons Per Month Residential Commercial
First 16,000/Month 1.0214 0.9911


All In Excess of 16,000/Month 1.0214 0.7597



Notice it's gets cheaper the more we use here.

Gives you a idea of how much water we use in a month.

I'm not sure how I would handle 50 G a day. Rain water for the tanks maybe since we get a good amount of that here in Pa.

Hope all you guys with tanks figure something out to make it work.

Rain water won't work besides that it will all be acid rain. That's why we are limited to water in so cal. We r in a bad bad drought. But where I live hasent been regulated yet so maybe it's just affecting major city's like San Diego etc.

This is like brand brand new, I have no idea if it's enforced in SD, my neighbors have a bunch of tanks too. This could suck.
Edit: as of Tuesday Sept. 30, this rule is not on the San Diego.gov site

Maybe it was just an idea being tossed around possibly?
