Officials have been forced to ramp up their water conservation efforts, as California's drought is showing no signs of abating, which will bolster the synthetic turf industry. The state of California needs to take the necessary steps to guarantee that we'll have sufficient water resources if another drought year follows in 2016, officials say that since we've entered a fourth drought year. Last year was a very lucrative year for the fake turf industry and it looks like 2015 will be the same as more people turn to it as the best option in keeping their lawns good-looking without the excessive use of water.

Some districts of Los Angeles County all the same discourage the use of synthetic grass and others outright prohibit it. Withal, for instance, homeowners associations, may be forced to allow it if drought conditions don't get better soon: In San Diego, a bill has been proposed which would force HOAs to allow fake grass to be installed in their districts. The Los Angeles Metropolitan Water District already offers a turf replacement rebate which rewards homeowners $2 for every square foot of their yard that they replace with synthetic turf.

No vehicle washing without shot-off nozzles.

An thrilling note is that the chairwoman of the state water board says that the state has been forced to create these new regulations because authorities of local water districts have been remiss on water use restriction.

No watering lawns and gardens during storms and for 48 hours after storms.
