Sounds like you think everyone who is not 100 percent focused on their watering systems is a moron who can't figure out how to turn them off and on...quite insulting. And, of course, incorrect. I am not seeing people post that they are perplexed by their water systems.... I guess if you dismiss people by characterizing them as fools who just lay on couch with remotes you don't have to really listen to their opinions.

There is an exception in the restriction for newly-laid sod and seed, so watering this everyday is not illegal, but I have also noticed a quite a bit of overspray in this vicinity. <br /><br />I'm not sure whether this portion of the project is the responsibility of the Public Works Department or the Joint Antelope Valley Authority, but hopefully this will get where it needs to go, so somebody can see if there is anyway to reduce the overspray without killing the new grass.

I think the water dept could drive around to violations, note the violation and send the property owner a citation through the mail. Same as guys that plows snow. Why do you need a cop to go out and verify that a car is parked on the wrong side of the road during a snow emergency. Doesn't the snow plow driver have the ability to note the vehicle and plate, location and time and follow it up with a citation in the mail. I read that other towns using cameras at intersections for red light violations just send out the citation in the mail. It would sure free up alot of resources from the police dept that could be used on other community issues.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-16595283740452941372012-08-18T08:08:53.047-05:002012-08-18T08:08:53.047-05:007:19,

We're here to serve: but we do not decide on our own what those services will be. In this case, we have a borderline water emergency, and the water department lacks the resources and infrastructure to go mobile and radio dispatch employees to violations-- things like sufficient staff, vehicles, radios, dispatchers, call takers. They also lack any enforcement authority. The reaction to a uniformed officer on your porch telling you to comply might be a little different than to a guy in a blue polo with a clipboard.Tom Casadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03188041481309059441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-8184809334369191422012-08-18T07:19:14.049-05:002012-08-18T07:19:14.049-05:00Just wondering.

Lincoln has had 5shootings/stabbings since July 4 and I don't know how many burglaries that I read about on line. Don't the cops have serious issues to deal with other then going around telling people that their sprinkler is spraying on the sidewalk.

I don't really care all that much if the guy two blocks away is slapping his GF, or someone hid two bottles of scotch in their pants at SuperSaver, or an unknown took some CDs from an unlocked vehicle.
