In response to Cheatham Parent
In yesterday's City Council meeting, it was reported that Allen has achieved a 23.3% reduction since Oct 1st, which is among the top in the water district(10% was the target). They mentioned one city has achieved a slightly higher reduction. So apparently, in spite of the many many violations we see everyday, overall our city seems to be doing our part.
Not questioning the impact of reduced watering on the load. This is a matter of EFFICIENCY and due process not effectiveness.
Do we need to spend over $1MM per year to patrol the watering rules?
Do we need to create a presumptive guilty people intensive enforcement process in order to make an example out of citizens who may or may not be guilty?
Is that really the job of government?
Keep in mind most people had their sprinklers set on the builders every other day 10 minutes per zone setting at the beginning of the water reduction process. Never touched them. Just about everyone has touched their sprinkler settings in the past 2 years of water restrictions. That action alone has had the greatest impact.
