SD residents can face 6 years in jail for washing their cars

[Khadgar]

Really? Do show me.

Has nothing to do with municipal regulations to prevent the water waste in an area plagued by droughts.

No, see he doesn't need to show you, because this isn't a debate.

If it's not a debate then it should be locked, Non-debate threads are locked routinely afterall.

[Excison]

Well, That's a DAMN shame!

Kinda like he was off to play SWOTOR? =P

These mean nought to me. I'm merely quoting the acronym they used.

...residents of the city are forced to drink toxic waste in their water supply in the form of sodium fluoride

Yes, sodium fluoride, a chemical so toxic that even minute amounts can improve dental hygiene.

[Frisivisia]

The loaded poll questions are strong with this one.

Is there any other website besides the one run by Alex Jones that mentioned this?

No, because it's a lie.

Are any websites in the habit of following Capt. Derpsalot?

In the very broadest interpretation of "this", yeah. The San Diego Public Utilities site.

Most reputable.

Which should answer your question.

Am I the only one who thought the OP meant "South Dakota"?

No, you're not.

I can't wait to be appointed the head of the EPA and just start making everything a fineable offense. The best part of it would be that I am not accountable to the American people! The yachts I will buy....

How old are you? You do realize that the EPA isn't a company right? The head of the EPA doesn't get to keep all the money that comes in.

it will when i take over

For some reason people hear "SuperFund" and think "OH MY GOD MONEY" instead of "HOLY SHIT TOXIC WASTE DUMP! WE'RE GROWING SWAMP THING HERE!"

They chose to live in a desert. Time to appeal to common sense and follow regulations so nobody has to go without water in favor of your car.

But they are next to the Pacific ocean. So build a desalination plant. Or if they are cheap how about importing water from Tijuana which is close by.

Did some checking and Tijuana has its own water problems. They get some water from the Tijuana river but most from a canal which brings in water from the Colorado River. There use to be another canal which brought water from the US but the US blocked it off with cement in 2010.

About 60.000 people in Tijuana have no direct water access to their homes. Many have to get water at a public water pipe which they must pay a month to use. Some also use waste water from streams but for cleaning or plants. Tijuana is planning to build two desalinating plants.

Very expensive and very energy intensive. Saving water is and remains a cornerstone of ensuring people don't dehydrate and that you can put out fires.

I wish I was kidding: http://www.infowars.com/san-diegans-face-6-years-in-prison-for-washing-their-car/

Right in an effort to bring some sanity to this: No. No.

Specifically, it's not EPA-mandated, it's a San Diego mandated thing. If it was EPA-mandated, then why the fuck limit it to San Diego?

And the penalties? Nowhere near as stiff as claimed and certainly not as a first resort.

Infowars discredited after a 5 second (I doubt it even took you that long, Laerod) search on google. So business as usual I see.

I'm honestly really surprised we haven't built many desalination plants. Then again we are home to a sizable population of eco-freaks of which I have little doubt would protest new plant construction because of potential environmental damage.

Shiny Wet Otters That Oil Rebar?

That's a huge problem in the Monterey Bay, with oily rebar piling up on the shores and causing surfers to fall off their boards.

Actually, it took me a wee bit longer than that. After my first search yielded only car washes in the San Diego area, I had to revise it, sacrificing precious seconds...

If only I had sacrificed those extra seconds, I could have ninja'd you. But I didn't. Because I saw something shiny.

If this is true, the person with the bright idea should be lined up against a wall and shot.
