    How to be a rich person 101:

    Subdivide your “lot” such that your 1400 sqft bathroom is one “lot” and the bedroom is another lot. Your garden fountain? You guessed it. Another lot…

      That’s a lot more work than you think. You would need a new water meter and water connection installed on each lot and you would also need to file a bunch of legal paper work to do the subdivision, as well as wrangling with the Postal Service to get mailboxes installed for each lot, and so on…

      On top of that, you’re risking being found out and pictures of your mansion posted on the front page of Variety being accused of cheating the water rates, which is very bad for someone whose career probably depends on their public perception. Don’t make yourself into the next Amber Heard. On top of that, public outcry means the Council might even intervene to put a stop to your plan by amending the Water Rates Ordinance to penalise you for your obvious attempt to abuse the system.
