All of socal is a desert. So Bakersfield, San Bernardino, etc. pulling from the Colorado river.

Sacramento, Fresno, etc pulling from the Sierras.

Heat has little relevance here, so LA is just as bad as PHX for residential water consumption (excluding lawns).

I am pretty sure Bakersfield does not pull water from the Colorado river.
