My guess is they create a new bureaucracy to handle it. Think of how many jobs could be created for illegals if each household in California had a personal water monitor to run a stop watch during showers!OK, folks. Just HOW are they going to monitor this? I'm assuming water usage? Or is that just too simple for them and will they want shower cams?

Read that as those illegals who they want to have jobs so the can bus them in to vote someday.I was listening to KFI and they were saying how 4 water bottling companies take their water from California to take to other states as bottled water. Why are they allowed to do that?

So, it's let them work and the rest of you can buy the bottled water at inflated prices cuz we're not letting you get it from your taps.
This is exactly why I never intend to have one of these things attached to my house. Anyone who ever believed the "we won't monitor your usage" line was naive. History proves that if a technology has the ability to be abused, it will be abused. It's the same with the smart TVs today... as soon as a justifiable reason can be found, you can bet those eyes and ears will be on all the time, and by then you won't be able to buy a TV without monitoring capability.http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2015...-use-new-tool-in-fight-against-water-wasters/
And here's the answer! Remember when they claimed the smart meters would never be used to monitor anything? HA! Looks like they are able to get info every 5 minutes about your water use.

“The accuracy is just incredible, because we get thedata
Using this data, Wattier knew the precise moment to send his employees to videotape the infractions to use as evidence.
“We are using it specifically for an enforcement tool to go after those customers who we’ve gotten lots of complaints about,” Wattier said.
Wattier says he believes the smart meter will be used in both businesses and homes to track water waste across Southern California.
