"Hotels [on Catalina Island] are shipping laundry to the mainland for washing"
LA Times:
Southern California Edison, the island's water utility, plans to impose Stage 3 restrictions in October. They would require ratepayers to slice water use by 50% or face penalties on their monthly bills.
Under Stage 3 restrictions, even the best restaurants will use paper plates to avoid washing dishes, construction projects will be put on hold, and hotels say they will be forced to close laundry services and shutter rooms
