I think businesses that need the water, like farms, car washes, etc... should be exempt, because it stops their income otherwise. But you can still play golf on a dry course with brown grass. It may not be as good, but you can still play.

Actually Maggy is right. They can cut your gas or electric off, but they can't cut your water off.

You can eat food that doesn't need cooking, and you can wrap up with loads of layers of clothes and blankets to keep warm. But you can't survive without water.
