I live in Paso Robles. Prior to May 15, 2015<\/span> we had a three day per week irrigation (landscape watering) rule and Mondays were a mandatory no landscape water day. Well, things are changing. They are tightening down once again in Paso.<\/p>\n

The new rules<\/a> are ONLY two days per week to water your landscape AND landscape watering is PROHIBITED Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. In addition, outdoor irrigation is NOT permitted between 9am and 7pm<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The interesting part of all this is the number of people that have an issue with this. Really? This water problem is something that impacts each and every one of us in the desert that is central to southern California. Why would you even hesitate to save water where you can?<\/p>\n

~ Get rid of lawns. That includes you too City of Paso Robles.<\/p>\n

~ If it\u2019s yellow let it mellow, if it\u2019s brown flush it down.<\/p>\n

~ Don\u2019t let your kids play in the hose on hot days, or ever.<\/p>\n

~ Only run dishwashers and clothes washers when full. Wear clothes an extra time if possible before putting them in the laundry.<\/p>\n

~ Just because you are on drip does not mean you have efficient water usage. Be sure to check the soil and make sure you are not over-watering and that you don\u2019t have leaks<\/p>\n

~ Turn your faucets off anytime there is nothing underneath the running water.<\/p>\n

~ Put a 5 gallon bucket in your shower to catch some of the water while you are waiting for the water to heat up. Use this water on your plants.<\/p>\n

~ Put a 1 or 2 gallon bucket in your sink to catch extra water from hand rinsing, etc. Use this water on your plants.<\/p>\n

~ Don\u2019t wash your vehicle, or at the very least wash it less often.<\/p>\n

The bottom line is this, we can ALL do better with water. We need to get over the attitude that it is not our problem or that you don\u2019t believe in climate change. Who cares, we can still be gentler with our natural resources. I\u2019ve also heard some folks say that I pay for it so I\u2019m going to use it\u2026yet another major fail in logic.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to be more aware. It\u2019s time to join the team and work together on this. Conservation alone is not the answer but it will certainly help. And it\u2019s not just residential use; commercial businesses, farmers, cities (city maintained grass, sprinklers, drip), state and federal land, and environmentalists all need to come to the table and look for solutions rather than kicking the can.<\/p>\n

Some say that golf courses, ag, and city parks should all stop watering too. My opinion is that these three groups should absolutely do all they can to conserve water too but here\u2019s the thing, golf courses bring much needed revenue to the city so that\u2019s a tough one but I see the point. Agriculture in California provides much of the nation with food and obviously brings tremendous revenue to the state of California. City parks are places for people in the community to gather, play, and take part in community events.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d prefer all residential lawns, city maintained residential lawns, and commercial\/ business lawns to die before we let those city park lawns go. Anyways, that\u2019s my $0.02. I know none of this will change your mind but for those of you doing your part to conserve, thank you. For those of you that do not, good luck.<\/p>\n
