Pretty even without the flower.
Water on Monday and Thursday.
We're still conserving...
Southern California is facing a water supply shortage for the third year in a row.
In Los Angeles, You Cannot:
- Water using sprinklers on any day other than Monday and Thursday;
- Use water to wash any hard surfaces such as sidewalks, walkways, driveways or parking areas, unless flushing is needed to protect health and safety;
- Use water to clean, fill or maintain decorative fountains unless the water is part of a recirculating system;
- Serve water to customers in eating establishments unless requested;
- Permit leaks from any pipe or fixture to go unrepaired;
- Allow for the washing of a vehicle without using a hose with a self-closing, shut-off device;
- Permit watering during periods of rain;
- Irrigate landscaping between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.;
- Water outdoors for more than 15 minutes per watering station, 10 minutes for other irrigation systems;
- Allow runoff onto streets and gutters from excessive watering;
- Install single-pass cooling systems in new buildings;
- Install non-recirculating systems in new car wash and commercial laundry systems;
- Permit large landscape areas to water without rain sensors that shut off irrigation systems.
I didn't realize the strength of LA's laws. Do you see many offenders? Phoenix certainly has drought potential, but no such laws/rules are in effect here. Thanks for making me conscious of what we can do.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautifully simple shot. Nice job, LL.
ReplyDeleteThis whole water retention business is getting old...our grass is in a very sorry state. But the trees and other flowers seem to be ok. Still, you can completely see the difference after watering and how everything becomes alive again!
ReplyDeleteHi Brenda - yes, there are some that are not following the rules, but many are, and that has made a big difference in consumption.
ReplyDeleteThanks FA!
Hi PK - let's hope we have a rainy winter!
