West coast madness- couple fined for brown lawn in drought

[Tonington]

California can't stop the crazy. A couple that cut back on watering their lawn to conserve water in drought stricken California, may be fined up to $500 for having a brown lawn. If that wasn't bad enough, the State's new drought measures empower cities to fine citizens up to $500 for watering the lawn...

How much is a bucket of green dye and a spritzer bottle?

Huh, before Los Angeles had access to Colorado River water, they constructed a plant to turn wastewater into potable water. The treated water was of better quality than imported aqueduct water:

That's the future in California, over 80 years ago they were already recycling waste water. Now they are trucking salmon upstream to their spawning grounds. Wild west.

Seriously, brown grass is an "Eyesore" and therefore you can be fined?
