据外媒报道,近日美国南加州地区城市比佛利山(Beverly Hills)批准采取更严格的限水措施,包括禁止帮新落成的游泳池注水及违反限水规定罚1000美元等。
在加州连续3年干旱情况下,州长下令强制用水减量,5位民选议员组成的市议会开会后,最终批准这项限水措施。加州面临严重的干旱问题,迫使当局采取新的严格限水措施,水库也严重缺水。

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Beverly Hills, the southern California city renowned for Hollywood-tinged glamour and luxury, approved stricter water restrictions on Tuesday, including bans on filling new swimming pools and $1,000 fines for water violations.
Faced with an order from the governor to cut water use dramatically as the state reels from a three-year drought, the five-member city council approved the measures at the end of a three-hour afternoon meeting.
