Water Conservation - Philosophy Question

Our esteemed Governor has asked all North Carolinians to reduce their water consumption by 50%. If a household already is conserving how exactly do they do that?
If your household turns off the water while brushing teeth, takes short showers and only washes full loads of laundry and dishes, what's left?
I believe this is an example of the "bad child" syndrome..... Let me explain.
Good children do what they're told, learn from their mistakes, make good choices, do their best in school, etc.
For this they (hopefully) become productive citizens of society with little need for social or parental interventions be it in time or money.
Bad children do what they please, make the same poor choices over and over, fritter away the resources given to them, etc. For this they are frequently given extra attention, time and social and parental resources.
So good children have the satisfaction of a job well done, while bad children have lots of fun and get bailed out of trouble frequently. When a good child needs a little extra cash, they get a second job or take out a loan. Bad children freeload and usually get "free" money (or whatever the current need is) that they neither earned or deserve.
I believe the good children of North Carolina will soon be punished for already conserving by being forced to cut their already meager water consumption by 50%, while it will be relatively easy for the bad children of North Carolina to reduce their consumption because they have done nothing to help water conservation to this point.....sigh.
Yet another example of excellent government thought processes.
