CBS Los Angeles:

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — While the drought has most residents of Southern California conserving water, one home in Bel Air guzzled nearly 12 million gallons of water in just one year.

Bel Air is known for upscale, celebrity-owned properties, and now, for being the home of California’s biggest water user.

The house pumped out 11.8 million gallons of water in one year, which according to the investigative website reveal-news.org cost the home owners an estimated $90,000.

Tracy Quinn is a water-policy analyst for the Natural Resource Defense Council, which argues that the alarmingly high water use by the Bel Air resident is shocking.

“That’s more water than is used by 100 households in Southern California,” Quinn said.
