There are many similar examples around the City. Campuses like this must declare one or the other of the two schedules, and notify the Water Department of that choice. <br /><br />I also note that the complex has its own well, which would also exempt it from the restrictions, if it is used for the irrigation. I do not know, however, if the well supplies the sprinkler system or not.Tom Casadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03188041481309059441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-2393003127781057042012-08-12T10:04:59.378-05:002012-08-12T10:04:59.378-05:00OOPS, I meant to say...I lose water...OOPS, I meant to say...I lose water...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-86768510875784399062012-08-12T09:15:55.716-05:002012-08-12T09:15:55.716-05:00On Sunday, 8-12-12, I observed the sprinklers at 5...On Sunday, 8-12-12, I observed the sprinklers at 575 S 10th operatoring?

There are good pictures on my blog.<br />City Administration needs to step up the effort to educate the wasteful users of our water system. On my morning commute I saw over a dozen irrigation systems running on the wrong side of the street, including one business completely soaking a 20x150 ft patch of street. Reporting this volume of violators does not seem like the answer. Look to how San Antonio deals with their water shortages.<br />One other request I would make to my fellow citizens would be to turn off your water features. We are in an extreme drought and those decorative fountains should be turned off.Platte Fanhttp://kateavery-lizsidney.blogspot.com/2012/08/an-afternoon-at-platte.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-8059205440379548322012-08-10T08:56:43.430-05:002012-08-10T08:56:43.430-05:00It all comes from the same place.It all comes from the same place.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10369138557977907215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-73369470423826313352012-08-10T08:28:01.907-05:002012-08-10T08:28:01.907-05:00Is this well map publicly available online anywher...Is this well map publicly available online anywhere?
