Walnut Valley water wasters face mandatory low flow

From the San Gabriel Valley Tribune:

The Walnut Valley Water District has passed a strict set of laws and penalties for water wasters. Among the toughest penalties approved Monday is a law allowing the district to restrict water flow to its worst offenders by placing a gadget on water lines to limit flow to one gallon per minute.

Walnut Valley serves customers in Walnut, Diamond Bar, Industry and Rowland Heights.

Bob Muir, spokesman for the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, said about one-third to one-half of the districts under MWD have used this type of flow restraint as a last resort if someone is habitually wasting water.

Water agencies all over the region are passing similar laws to to reduce the amount of imported water Southern California water districts receive, Muir said.
