I’m not necessarily criticizing the policy either—I’m not informed enough to do that, and am glad I don’t have to make those decisions. Just wondering what a non-mandatory request to only some water users to curtail their usage actually achieves in the grand scheme of things, and am happy to be corrected if I’m wrong.
With that said, if the actual rationale for treating businesses differently is “they will lose money” then it seems to me we either don’t have a real water crisis or we have no idea how to prioritize things in an emergency.

Restaurant dishwasher units are often self contained reusing the water with filtration. Same as things like car washes.
In general we are in the early stages of ban outdoor and ask nicely. It worked for power in the winter.
