This. I wish it were true but no… the Hollywood Reporter did an article a year ago about the extreme water consumption of some of LA’s A-list celebrities. They express a lot of concern about the environment but not enough to actually deter their absurd levels of water use (and private jet use).
The closest thing I could find about Beverly Hills having draconian water regulations was a limitation on water for washing cars, cleaning buildings, and watering, and a bunch of other regulations, from the drought of 2015. Nothing about showers unless it’s a shower for your car. Of course, like every other city in California, Beverly Hills building code does limit shower head flow rates, toilet flush volume, and so on, but that’s probably widely ignored.
Edit: Obviously, the Hollywood Reporter piece I referenced is pointing to rich celebrities in Calabasas etc, not in Beverly Hills itself. I’m just assuming that rich Beverly Hills residents are pretty similar to their rich neighbors in the nice parts of LA and Calabassas.
