Water Conservation Question

[organicmama]

My neighbor across the street from us got in trouble last week for watering his lawn in the middle of the day with a hose. The water meter person was polite to him, but the homeowner got kind of rude & I heard him say it was his right to do what he wants with his lawn. I think he got a ticket and I haven't seen him out watering since then.

He's not a permanent resident, BTW. He and his wife are from a neighboring state and come down every 2-3 months for a couple of weeks. Just so y'all know I'm not busting any locals!

He is absolutely right. He can do what he wants with whatever water he can manufacture himself. Jerk. Give me the address--I have a few extra Round-Up grenades I want to launch...:angry:

I like the way you think.

Don't want that crap near my house! :shock:

I cannot imagine what Lanier looks like right now. I have not seen it in 2 years. Nor can I fathom the restrictions y'all have been under.

Typical view from shore:

This one is about a mile from my house:

Lovely red clay shorelines:

We are 13' below pool right now (I think it was about 18' down at the worst) but are about to head out of the wet season into summer, so it will only get worse from here until winter.

We pray for big fat hurricanes that tear up through the Gulf and rampage to North Georgia when it gets like this. That's the only kind of rain that can save us now. Just sayin'.
