OPINION: Water Conservation Stalls

Let’s face it, there is an absolute limit to the amount of water that can be conserved. The continuous statistics about water conserved and the admonishments are unending.

When we follow the recommendations, the rewards are increased water rates and the loss of the gorgeous vegetation that makes California so uniquely beautiful. We, the unrepresented voters, watch helplessly as legislators ignore the obvious way to make California drought-free. They plan to construct impractical, costly miles of underground pipes that will only partially help a small part of the state.
