On the agenda: City Council and CVWD
You might have heard about the city of Los Angeles and its limits on water usage this week. Drought is obviously not an isolated problem. These limitations are on this city's horizon, too.
The City Council and the Cucamonga Valley Water District will meet tonight and discuss an ordinance recently passed by the water board and another ordinance that the board plans to adopt later this month.
Ordinance 47 requires residents to use water hoses equipped with shutoff nozzles while washing cars, restaurants owners to serve water only on request and other water-saving measures. Ordinance 48, to be considered later this month, addresses more stringent measures if the drought becomes more serious or in an event of a natural disaster.
Tonight's 6 p.m. meeting is at the water district office on 10440 Ashford St.

Common sense tells us that logically conservation of water would mean a building moratorium be put into effect until the drought is abated. However, this council doesn't possess common sense so instead they want to punish the residents and business owners by restricting their water all the while approving new condos, apartments buildings, high rise buildings, strip malls, etc. in the city.
Will this building nonsense ever end or are the developers the real rulers of the city?
Instead of restricting water use, why not cancell all building in the city. No new water hookups as of now. This would conserve more water than restricting water use by current home owners. The council members might lose some campaign funds from developiers by this but,Oh Well!!
The general public is asked to save again.
The city is still wasting a lot of water on the lawns in the medians.
Same thing again as far back as 1989-91.
The water use is not the only thing. One lane has to be closed every time the grass is being cut.
Why do city sprinklers still turn on when it rains? Someone should invent a sensor that can turn off timers.
