At the risk of exhausting the limits of your good graces...I am writing twice in as many
days.
This time about your plans for setting limits on water usage....DON'T BACK DOWN.
Every time I drive past a space that is irrigating during a rain event....I want to
scream.
Or when people water their pathetic lawn grass every day.
This is not a joke....it is a crisis.
Thank you for taking it seriously and hopefully in the face of public pushback...you
will stand firm.
Last summer, I shut off the irrigation to my backyard. Did the grass turn brown? Of
course. Is it "dead"...nope. Just dormant.
For the last year plus, I have been collecting the water that normally would go down
the drain waiting for the temp to be warm enough to be comfortable....and then I use
it to flush the toilet. Is it a hassle? Not really? Is running out of water a hassle???
So, please push those water use regulations as far as you possibly can. Our
lives....forget the life of our lawn...our lives depend on it.
Happy Trails,Sherry
