LETTER: Water, water everywhere?
June 25, 2021 - 9:01 pm
We cannot possibly be in a drought. When I go for a walk in the park near my house early in the morning, I see overwatering to the tune of thousands of gallons a week with large puddles of water, swampy areas and a stream running down the street for an hour.
The gated communities with HOAs are similar, only some of them actually water in the afternoon (the hottest part of the day) so the water running down the street is more obvious. The amount of water wasted, evaporated has got to be thousands of gallons every day all summer long in just the area where I live.
If we were really in a drought, I am sure none of this would be happening. Is anybody monitoring water usage, water waste and water usage in city and county parks? If it is this obvious to me, why isn’t it obvious to the people who control water supply and usage?
