the newsroom. why are local districts fighting the state? >> reporter: the districts understand that california is of course in a drought. but they also say water is a local issue. san bernardino has different water woes from, say, san francisco. and in their opinion, the state should not roll out some sort of one size fits all rule. >> three minutes. >> reporter: in the next 48 hours, the state water resources control board could hand down the toughest water conservation rules since california entered this drought. we're talking big fines, too, $500 if you're caught watering your lawn during the day, rinsing off your driveway, even washing a car without a shutoff nozzle. in theory, even your neighborhood parking officer can hand out tickets. >> there's a long way that urban california can do to help add to the flex in the system and be part of the solution. >> reporter: but local water districts say a hefty statewide fine is unnecessary. take east bay m.u.d. it has not fined anyone in its history. they simply limited water flow to customers deemed water wasters. and the alameda county water di

fighting off draper and it is big bucks they say draper's plan is hurting the california brand so even if voters were just support the state split congress and then the president would have to approve it too which is something highly unlikely to happen from washington miliband. california is facing one of the worst droughts and decades while the agricultural industry suffers urban water use in the month of may actually went up there despite efforts to encourage conservation so now the state water board isn't acting in emergency rule allowing local agencies to find water wasters up to five hundred dollars a day but it's not only people over watering their lawns and hosing off their driveways that are contributing to the problem another one of the potential culprits is not sleep on the morongo band of mission indians reservation the largest bottled water company in the u.s. has been drawing water from a spring in milford canyon for over a decade now keep in mind this is the cabazon area which has been facing declining groundwater levels since the year two thousand it's hard to say if or how much nestle's bottled water produc
