Clearinghouse

I've recently become a clearinghouse of sorts for water conservation information.

From a source in the know:

"The state's model water efficient landscape ordinance:

http://www.owue.water.ca.gov/landscape/ord/ord.cfm

"One model is currently in place and a revision is underway.

"When Sacramento signed the CUWCC MOU, it promised to have full metering within six years of signing MOU or by 2012, whichever is later. In addition it promised to bill all metered customers using volumetric billing within one year of signing MOU. ...for the few meters already installed the city only uses volumetric billing for customers volunteering for this."

A big bouquet of native plants to the concerned citizen who brought me a goodie bag from Placer County. Said goodie bag contained all sorts of useful info about water conservation (including a caution about lawns), some stickers for the kiddies, low flow showerheads, and a spray top thingy for the hose.

And thanks to all the friends who deluged us with sprinklers & cacti recently. Happy days!
