From the article;

A stream of water from a leaking sprinkler pooled on the ground, creating a miniature marsh. Above the glistening pond, silver block letters on the building in the backdrop spelled out: "Department of Water and Power, City of Los Angeles, Receiving Station K."

"Everybody has to follow the same rules," said Penny Falcon, the DWP's water conservation policy manager. "But there are special cases on some of those rules both with the state ordinance and with ours."

"I don't think we're going to fine ourselves," Falcon said. "That would be a lot of administrative paperwork for nothing."

No, don't "fine yourselves"... fine individuals responsible and let them pay personally... not on the gov ticket.

Excactly! That is the only way of getting government and corporations to start acting responsibly. Hiding behind a corporation you get away with premeditated murder...
