I live in California and we had a few weeks of heavy rains in the winter and we're still in a drought and we have to conserve, one rainy day or week doesn't replenish all the reservoirs

[QUOTE=dvondrake;16277912]I live in El Paso. One side of the street is allowed to water their lawn one day, and the other side of the street the next. You can technically get fined if someone tells or an inspector just happens to be driving past and hears your sprinklers, but the chances are very low and I've only seen one inspector ever when I filled my recycling bin with garden scraps, which is apparently a no-no. No signs of any commotion, at least not here.[/QUOTE]
Most people in El Paso don't even have real lawns, just a pile of fucking rocks.
My lawn's dead anyway
Fucking Texas sun

Oh really? For a moment I thought he was simply making an ironic statement based on his comical skewing of "water water everywhere", but now I see that must have just been an illusion brought on by madness.
Welcome to America, land of the Free! Say what you want, believe what you want, But you better not fucking water your lawn
Ironic, I live in Texas and its rained almost every day this week.
[QUOTE=pie_is_good;16278339]Everyone's stupid. There's water everywhere in the ocean there's noting wrong with it. Remember how the poem goes, "Water Water everywhere so let's all have a drink"[/QUOTE]
It's "water water everywhere [i]yet not[/i] a drop to drink."
That's the version I learned, and it's much more accurate.

Where do you live?
I live in the bubble around DFW, where rain always fades out and misses us
I live between Galveston and Houston, it's not that bad.
Why are Texans always so negative about everything? I'd say that lake is half [I]full[/I].

no such increment in lakes, we say # of feet below normal, are you trying to be funny?
It's just no one waters their lawn, big deal, I'm just watching the grass dying.
[QUOTE=dvondrake;16279191]I have rocks in my front yard but a nice green lawn in the back. As with most people. Actually, as with everyone unless they have a lawn in the front and back. Do you live here or was that just a baseless assumption?
Also it's been raining all week here in El Paso. Confirmed.[/QUOTE]
Visited in like 07'.
Stop right there, criminal scum! Nobody waters their lawn on my watch!
I'm confiscating your garden hose, now pay the bill or it's of to jail!
I live in Austin well outside Austin and we use well water. First we pump water from a underground lake/river. Then we treat it on site with a system of tanks, in my garage, I don't know the system inside and out but I'm the only one tapped in on this well the rest are on the other bigger well. It has rained once in two months in austin and it's. Been at a stray hundred degree every day too. So no rain+100.F+high demand for water=crysis. Ow yeah Texas will never import water, we are to stubborn.
All my ex's live in Texas
I'm surprised no conservatives have come in saying this is an abuse of power.
Something similar happened in out here in Maryland last year. The reservoir near my house went nearly dry.
It's not because of water shortages.
They just want to [i]rake in[/i] the money
I fail :frown:
