I was born and raised in a place where we don't waste water. They have regulations on watering your lawn or washing your car. But, I realize that this is a locale issue. If you have mountains full of snow or it rains and rivers run all the time, I could understand using as much as you see fit.Sounds like a lot eh?... it don’t rain much during the Summers here, that’s why we gotta keep tower sprinklers running most of the time.I could let the grass die, but I like the view when it’s all green. I have 12 acres, but I really only finely groom about 7.
It was more of a culture shock. It brought back a memory of a story I heard about the county officials harassing a guy for installing 10,000 gallon tank on his 10 acre property because they wanted him to only put a 2500. He had a home and wanted to do a little farming. I think he was able to keep it for fire fighting purposes in the end. But, if he wouldn't of fought back he would be stuck with that 2500.
