Amy Harris’ backyard has a stunning view of Black Mountain in Rancho Peñasquitos. She and her husband mountain bike on the trails.
“I’ve been mountain biking since I was a teenager. I’ve been living here 26 years,” said Harris. This year, they’ve noticed water where it normally would not be flowing.
A waterfall has been flowing in the backyard of Ron White’s home on Wescott Court in Rancho Peñasquitos just below Black Mountain for the past year.
“The big rains happened, and by this time last year in August, we thought it would go away, and it did not,” said White.
The Trump administration has relaxed a regulation restricting water flow from showerheads, a pet peeve of President Donald Trump, who complained that he wanted more water to make his hair “perfect.”
Since 1992, federal law has dictated that showerheads shouldn’t spew more than 2.5 gallons (9.5 liters) of water a minute.
