Over a year now we have been discussing our declining water supply at the MAC meetings. We have discussed the importance of a good winter to replenish our local supply. The winter hasn't happened, well at least not enough moisture. Next Monday night's MAC meeting will have an update for our water supply.
In the past year potentials like rationing has been discussed. Trucking in water like we did about 6 years ago may not be an option any longer, it's very expensive, and more communities face the same problem now. We all need to conserve water.
It surprises me how down the hill lawns of grass seem to get a pass. It's not natural and very wasteful. I came from Orange County with big lawns. Living in Wrightwood for 22 years has shown me they are not very important, not natural and very wasteful, especially in times like this. Las Vegas ran a program where they subsidized home removal of grass, I think they had something like a 13% reduction in water usage related to it.
