Conserving water has become a popular issue because many U.S. states are suffering a drought. Some lawmakers think that states s

hould enforce a fine to those who use too much water. As the drought becomes worse, many believe that enforcing this penalty would best help conserve water.
Although water conservation is an important issue for everyone, fines for using water could mean the downfall of many businesses. The majority of businesses require a lot of water to operate. Without it, businesses may not operate properly. This would result in a loss of business. In particular, the restaurant industry might suffer. Restaurants rely on people to come in and buy their food. They also want to provide clean environments and drinking water for the diners. Should they be expected to pay fines in order to conduct business?
Some lawmakers say that conservation would not affect businesses if they used water-saving appliances. These machines can help conserve water. However, some of these water-efficient appliances are costly. Many businesses cannot afford the expense of replacing their equipment. As a result, they face a difficult situation that might lead them to shut down.
Enforcing water conservation with fines might cause more damage than good. Businesses might choose not to save water because paying fines would be cheaper than buying better appliances. These are points that lawmakers should consider before passing such a bill.
