I’m mixed on this one wrto to HOA. I don’t think mine are overbearing. They usually leave people alone….Unless someone calls and complains. It helps if one of your neighbors decides to paint their fence Forbidden City red or start planing trees/bushes at/on the property line.

That would be sweet, a Forbidden City Red picket fence. :-). I’d gladly take that trade off for them to not tell me what I can/can’t plant on my yard. What if I want to make my front yard a place for kid to play and put all those plastic swings, etc out there. That, I’d think is a big no no, right?April 24, 2009 at 11:24 AM #387023Participant[quote=flu]

ParticipantYou want to know what really pisses me off. We have a shortage and some people essentially make pigs of themselves. In Poway the top 5% of bills make up 25% of the water used and the top 10% makes up 40% of all the water used. I understand that if you have a large property you will use more water. I think though that some of these people are making no effort to conserve at all.
Top water hogs get to avoid spotlight Water use in Poway
Median user, two-month average: 27,000 gallons
Top user, two-month average: 888,223
Second place: 563,680 gallons
Third place: 478,907 gallons
In fact, 147 residential water customers in Poway used more than 200,000 gallons of water per billing period on average, according to the records.

ParticipantHow on earth can someone use a half million gallons of water in two months? Or even a quarter of a million? That’s 5-10k gallons A DAY!!!
And here I am feeling guilty about my 300 sq feet of lawn that I water a couple times a week for 5 minutes and my vegetable garden.
