I was just recently screwed by the gubmint. I spent over $1600 to reseed my lawn. Then a couple of weeks later out of nowhere the city implements an emergency water restriction plan. Now I can only water my lawn for 10 minutes twice a week!

And they aren't making any exceptions.

The kicker is that I have been planning on going to City Council meetings for quite some time. If I had been going, I would have seen this coming and done something else instead.

These poor folks had plenty of time to create a limited S-Corp or some such thing. It would probably only have put them back a couple of thousand. If they couldn't afford that, then they could have sold a small sliver of the land to pay the lawyer bills; rather than now having to sell off the whole property.

If we don't keep ourselves informed about the big bad wolf of government, then he will come knocking on our door at very inopportune moments and we will be screwed.

re-route your grey water to go out onto the lawn.

Use one of those perferated hoses to spread it. Having a down hill slope helps.

If the city gives you a hard time, you at can at least say you're doing your algore best to conserve and wisely use the water they deem so precious.

Charge THEM for the double duty you're doing with THEIR one-time allotment.
