Today, I watered a dying communal plant. I was fined $250 for littering. FML

Were you watering it with little bits of garbage or something?

Should rainclouds be fined for littering as well?

Of course. ******* California. All they can do is punish and over regulate.

That doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Did you water it with coffee?

While having the fine be for littering makes little sense, you probably broke some water usage restrictions by doing that, so YDI

The fact that this was described as a "communal plant" makes me think that this is part of a community food garden, and as such might get a sort of dispensation for water usage even during drought. I'm no lawyer, though, so I don't know all the intricacies of water restriction laws--and likely neither did OP, so all the YDIs on this one are kind of sad.

Have you heard we're in the middle of a 1000-year drought here? Nobody likes it, but you have to let them die.

That sucks OP but at least you tried to do a nice thing.

Water isn't litter. Litter builds up, water dries up. Best I can figure is they called a drought measure the wrong thing.
