Here's how Gonzalez earns $70,000 a year, or nearly $100,000 with overtime, as a water operator in Calabasas, Calif.
."It really brought to light the scarcity of the water here in Southern California," he says."I found out the water comes from Northern California, and we don't actually store any water here in the south. So that made it real on the water conservation effort."
Gonzalez enjoys the variety of his work. Depending on his assignments for the day, he could be doing meter readings digging to install new plumbing or interacting with customers. Fines range from $50 to $100, which are often"not enough of a deterrent for people who have the means and the money to just pay their way out of it," he says.
If a customer exceeds their water budget too many times, the district installs a flow restrictor — a washer with a 1/16-inch hole in the center that allows just under two gallons of water per minute to go to the house.Properties that go over their water allotment too many times have a flow restrictor installed, which is a washer with a 1/16-inch hole in the center that allows just under two gallons of water to flow per minute.
"It's a win for everybody," Gonzalez says."Conservation-wise, it's less wasted water, and the customer wins because their water bill will go down."
