Kim Kardashian, Kevin Hart Accused of Excessive Water Usage In California


Celebrities Kim Kardashian and Kevin Hart have been mentioned among the list of people who violate local water restrictions in Southern California as the state enters its third year in a drought.

A drought emergency was declared last year in Southern California by the Las Virgenes Municipal Water District. This forced the state to enforce restrictions on water usage in the city.

According to Mike McNutt, a spokesman for the water district, residents receive a notice when they consume more than 150% of their water budget more than four times.

In a recent list released by the district, some celebrities have been found to have exceeded their budgets by more than 500%. The mentioned celebrities include Kim Kardashian, Kevin Hart, Kourtney Kardashian, actor Sylvester Stallone, and NBA player Dwayne Wade.

Sylvester Stallone’s property in Hidden Hills was found to have exceeded its water budget by 544% in June.

As a penalty for the violations, there would be a surcharge on the water bill, but properties are also subject to the installation of a flow restriction device by the third penalty.

“What this restrictor does is it completely irradiates the functionality of your irrigation system,” McNutt said, adding that 70% of water usage is from outdoor landscaping.
