Yes, population growth will result in higher demand, but you can't say that 200 people living in a condo complex uses the same amount of water as 200 people living in the suburbs. I'll bet I use more water on my lawn than everyone in The Classen combined. BTW - I have to water the lawn. If I don't I get fined by the HOA.

I don't believe I said that or tried to say anything remotely like that.

In your mind, maybe.

Well i'm so glad you're here to correct us all. I don't know how I would get along without you.

The water issue here is just a microcosm example of the larger issues.

I think you nailed it. So make that "in my mind" too.

Well i'm so glad you're here to correct us all. I don't know how I would get along without you.

You're welcome. If I can do anything else to help (in addition to drinking one less glass of water per day), please let me know.

And apparently i'm not the only one that feels this way about water....see above poster.....

So . . . Last night, I had to run an errand before the massive storm actually arrived.
Lightning was flashing, thunder was rolling and strong winds were blowing from the west.

In fact, the wind was SO strong that it was blowing all of the water from the sprinklers adjacent to Love's Corporate Headquarters back onto Penn.

I see this all over the State, especially in OKC, Moore, Norman, Edmond, every City should require that all sprinkler systems have a rain / wind monitor. The cost is minimal ($100--$300), when the wind is blowing too strong or if it's raining. the system will not turn on.

Perhaps if there was a $500 fine for watering the pavement the need for such a monitor would be more clearly seen.

It might even adjust certain paradigms regarding the positive cost-value ratio of decorative pea gravel as compared to grass.
Oops . . . The wind can blow pea gravel . . . How about Astro-turf? . . .
Or anything else that doesn't require the squandering of a precious, (human) life-sustaining resource.

In addition to the fine for pavement watering there should be a surcharge on sparklers.
(Refer to Video, above =)

This may not be as trite or deeply meaningful depending upon your point of view as "I Feel The Earth Move Under My Feet" . . .
But it's close. =)

Does anyone know if they restrict the residents from drilling their own wells at Gaillardia?
