I feel a bad for CA people, I cannot believe this is happening so soon after all the rain and snow I heard they got over the Winter.
I remember years ago when they suggested 5 minute showers (maybe 15). My manager lived in that area, I lived in a are were water is coming out of our ears 365 days a year, so to speak.
I said to her, "5 mins ? When I hop in the shower in the morning, 30 minutes go by before I even realize I am in the shower".
That is one thing I need, a long hot shower. Living there would mean no one would not want to be near me. My managers would beg me to Work from Home. :)
Assuming a standard 2.5gpm flow rate, even if water is free, that's a lot of energy use for a hot shower. 2,250 gallons of water per month on daily showers, assuming a 60/40 split for hot/cold means heating 1,350 gallons of water per month for just one person.
That's either expensive, bad for the environment or both, and not something Californias should aspire to do.
