Yeah -- like wasting water to power wash driveways and wash Hummers and SUV's. No the waste is not just the Army Corp of Engineers (although that was pretty stupid) it's power washing a house?? what is the purpose of that? Look at the water used foolishly like that. Or, having slip and slides on front yards of homes for kids that stay on for hours and hours. Sprinklers (oscillating and all the rest) should be banned -- only low flow water systems should be allowed. Let's think sensibly and stop wasting water that will be washed with rainfall. Think about replacing all the plants that take water like no tomorrow with drought tolerant plants and use more decorative single potting plants along with mulch and decorative stone instead of yards looking like nurseries. I don't believe plants in the front yard for mere aesthetics is more important than water to wash our clothes, take baths, cook and drink with. Find priorities and you'll "find" the water. And don't let the politicians tell you that everything is OK -- keep conserving -- summer's coming and it is supposed to be a hot one!
