California water cops are on the patrol, combing the streets of various communities to make sure nobody is watering their grass or washing their vehicles without government permission even asking neighbors to turn in neighbors who go against the states drought rules.
Some even bring cameras on the job to catch violators watering their lawns at night, Reuters reported.
If I can get a good picture if theres a lot of water Ill cite them, said Paul Brown, a hired meter reader who was patrolling his Sacramento-area neighborhood when he heard a running sprinkler system, Reuters reported.
Mr. Brown said he specifically asked to patrol that particular area because a lot of neighbors were complaining about others in the community who were wasting water, Reuters reported.
For the unlucky water sprinkler owner, Mr. Browns patrol brought on a warning but subsequent offenses could bring a fine of up to $500, Reuters said. A second offense would also require the homeowners to attend a meeting on how to save water.
Sacramento has hired six water cops like Mr. Brown to patrol the streets for water violators and to field telephone calls from residents who want to turn in their neighbors, Reuters said.
The patrols and tattle-telling seems to be working. Water use in the city fell by 25 percent in August 2014, compared to August 2013, Reuters said. And around the state, water use fell by 11.5 percent in that same month, compared to August 2013.
Regulations make better results than voluntary exhortations, said Felicia Marcus, chairwoman of the State Water Resources Control Board, on the new enforcement measures, Reuters reported. People want to know that everybody else is doing it.
In Los Angeles, the city has fielded 4,400 reports of water use violators leading to 2,200 warning citations. And Long Beach officers residents have the ability to use a water-waster app for their smartphones so they can report neighbors and businesses who use water to clean sidewalks, or who fail to repair water line leaks, to the conservation authorities, Reuters reported.

IBM disappointed investors Monday, reporting weak revenue growth again and a big charge to shed its costly chipmaking division as the tech giant tries to steer its business toward cloud computing and social-mobile services. Shares fell more than 7 percent as investors sold off sharply and the stock dragged the Dow 30 into the red.
Is it too late for IBM? Or can Big Blue weather the competition as it transforms its business for the cloud?
Remaking itself is something IBM has done many times through its long history. Starting more than a century ago in punch-card tabulators and time clocks, it grew to encompass the giant mainframe computers and Selectric typewriters of the 1960s and launched its revolutionary personal computer in the 1980s.
But by the early 1990s its early lead in personal computing was destroyed by tough competition that left it on the brink of bankruptcy. So CEO Lou Gerstner reinvented the company's mission to focus on providing technology services to businesses and government. Business soared technology and business services account for more than half of IBM's revenue today.
But the huge company 431,000 employees at last count has struggled under the weight of capital-intensive businesses as nimbler competitors led expansion into cloud services, in which software and data storage run on servers connected to the Internet rather than on computers on the users' desktops. It faces companies such as Amazon.com and Salesforce.com that already offer "software as a service" to businesses in specialized areas. That new challenge has flattened out sales for IBM's services businesses.
"While the newer strategic areas are seeing significant growth, the traditional businesses are still declining at a faster pace," Wells Fargo analyst Maynard Um wrote in a note to investors Monday.
In the third quarter, IBM reported a 15 percent drop in hardware revenue, now just 11 percent of IBM's business. Services revenue was flat when adjusting for currency-exchange effects and the sell-off of a customer care outsourcing business. Software revenue, which made up 27 percent of total revenue, slipped 2 percent.
Part of the solution for IBM is to shed some of those older businesses, what CEO Ginni Rometty calls "empty calories." Besides Monday's sale of the chip unit, earlier this month the Armonk, New York company sold its low-end server business to Lenovo Group for $2.1 billion. At the same time, it has been making new investments to catch up in cloud computing. IBM opened a new center in North Carolina last month that provides cloud services to help companies keep running in the event of a disaster. Rometty said on CNBC Monday that said growth rates for its cloud businesses are exceeding 50 percent.
The Globalfoundries and Lenovo deals make sense as a way to minimize exposure to hardware, but IBM has not shown improving momentum in software and services, said Steve Milunovich of UBS in a client note.
Rometty told CNBC that one strategy not under consideration is that pursued by Hewlett-Packard Co. splitting the company in two. She said IBM has been aggressive about changing internally.

IBM 3Q Disappoints as It Sheds 'Empty Calories'
PORT ORANGE, Fla.
Channel 9 continues to search for answers after a father shot his three children and then himself at his family's Port Orange home last week.
Last week, 52-year-old David Mohney shot his three children, killing two, before turning the gun on himself at their home in the Spruce Creek Farms subdivision.
A neighbor told investigators that he took action to keep David and Cynthia Mohney's children safe as the divorce between the couple had been getting heated.
Investigators said the only surviving child, 9-year-old Lauren Mohney, remains in stable condition at Arnold Palmer Hospital, where she is in a medically-induced coma.
Autopsies said the deaths of Savanna Mohney, 14, and David Mohney, 11, were the result of gunshot wounds.
Channel 9's Karla Ray learned the Mohney's neighbor, who Channel 9 is not naming, had been holding onto David Mohney's weapons out of concern for the family.
Just recently, the neighbor gave one of those guns back to David Mohney, who said he wanted to go shooting with a friend a few weeks ago. Mohney eventually used a 9mm handgun to shoot his children, though it's unclear whether it's the weapon that was returned to him.
Early that morning, Cynthia Mohney ran to the neighbor's house begging for help, saying her husband threatened her with a gun, authorities said. The neighbor then called 911.
"This has been a real screwy damn thing. Been going on for months," the neighbor told dispatchers.

In confirming a Wall Street Journal reported Monday, IBM said it was finally successful in getting rid of its unloved semiconductor operations. But shedding the unit comes at a cost.
IBM said it would pay investment company Globalfoundries a total of $1.3 billion (1 billion euros) within the next three years to take the chip operations off its hands.
"After months of on-again, off-again talks, IBM Chief Executive Officer Ginni Rometty finally struck a deal to jettison the chip-making unit, which has been a drag on earnings," Bloomberg reported on its web page.
Long-term partnership
Earlier reports indicated that the production of microelectronics accounted for less than 2 percent of IBM's revenue, with the division estimated to lose as much as $1.5 billion annually.
Bloomberg explained that Globalfoundries, owned by an investment arm of the government of Abu Dhabi, was taking on the unit to tap the expertise of its engineers in the fundamentals of semiconductor design and manufacturing.
In a 10-year partnership, Globalfoundries would supply IBM with Power processors in exchange for access to IBM's intellectual property.
