Since it's clear you don't really read the OP, here it is again for you:

Use water only as necessary, such as taking shorter showers and quickly turning off faucets from running at full force.

Limit flushing toilets (do not flush after every use).

Limit using washing machines and dishwashers.

Please respond that you read and UNDERSTOOD what you read.

What does WSSC expect we cut in winter??? We need clean clothes and showers. I’m not skimping on my daily shower.

People follow it. It's hopefully only temporary

Yes. Moco and PG have much older development, much of it from the boom in the 50s-70s. Just wait 10-20 years.

Most people don't have enough clothes for that, given that the very cold temperatures that are causing the water main breaks will last into next week. We use water frugally and are functioning as usual in winter, which means we continue to do laundry, use the dishwasher, and take showers.

What did socialists use before candles? Electricity.

Yeah, back before the capitalists poisoned the rivers and made electricity unaffordable.
