[quote=flu][quote=meadandale]How 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.[/quote]
Hey, if it’s only 300 sq ft, you can just pee on your lawn. Saves water, and probably better for the lawn anyway. π
[/quote]I’m not sure I could afford the cost of all the beer (remember, I can’t use water, we are conserving) π

Well, I don’t really have a front yard (most of these tract homes don’t have a front yard large enough to stick anything)…And as for the backyard, you can do anything you want (out of sight, out of mind). Just don’t drive a 5 inch nail into a wooden fence 1 inch thick that comes out on your neighbor’s side. (That’s just not cool, even if there was no HOA)

That does make sense if you don’t have a front yard. My front yard is about 1500 sq-ft, so you can put quite a bit of stuff out there.April 24, 2009 at 12:19 PM #387064anParticipant[quote=flu]

The billed person would need to sign an affidavit stating the number of occupants, subject to audits.
Condo buildings would need to conduct surveys.
Excess water usage would be billed at punitive rates. If you’re rich, it doesn’t matter. You can still have your tropical landscape.
