This is in the same sphere as the power grid warnings last year. Residents can all do their part, but in reality it's the businesses and and large centre's around the city that ultimately need to move the needle.
Joe blow cutting off his 5 minute shower or not running the dishwasher is like adding a tear drop to a swimming pool. Even if an entire community did so you're likely not even make a tangible difference when you're talking about tens of thousands (if not hundreds) of gallons of water be used by large consumers today.
