Fact check: Will Californians have to use water restrictor during drought?

The extent of California’s ongoing drought is starting to have more and more noticeable and disturbing effects, with aquatic wildlife left to rot in the sun as the state experiences its driest spell in 1,200 years. The extremely hot temperatures have left all 58 of California’s counties under a drought emergency proclamation, with water rationing continuing in the state’s battle against the climate. Nonetheless, one measure used to combat the shortage was met with incredulity when it was posted on social media. … The name of the device in the photo … was a flow restrictor and is used as a deterrent for wasteful water use by homeowners. All residents have a water budget combining indoor and outdoor water they have to adhere to and the restrictor is for those who consistently exceed that.
