I've installed an extensive drip system and drought resistant plantings. Now you <br /> want me to reduce my water consumption by another 25%.If I have to stop bathing you will have to make sure you are <br /> always up wind of me. <br /> Seriously, I hope you can find a way to cut some slack for those of us who are already conserving water and energy. <br /> Now I ask what the city is going to do to conserve water. If my lawn is brown and going wild I sure don't want to see <br /> watered streets,green street medians,green parks,or green golf courses.The only acceptable source to water these <br /> facilities is recycled water. Pumping water from public or private wells in not acceptable.That water is put in the aquifer <br /> from sources that are already in short supply and does not solve the problem.Yes,Val Vista is now on recycled water. <br /> This should have been done 10 years ago.Whatare we waiting for? <br /> What is needed is a comprehensive city wide water conservation program that includes the city residents and city <br /> facilities. If we only put on a mandatory 25%reduction and walk away its kind of like sticking our heads in the sand. <br /> Thank You <br /> William P.Rose <br /> Pleasanton, CA 94566 <br /> 1 <br />
