I find it very interesting in this article (“Five Billion Gallons and Counting”) in Tuesdays paper that Terry Pickel, the director of the city’s water department stated that 75% of the water consumption during the summer months is going for irrigation. Maybe someone in the city administration should look into the fact that taxpaying residents owning triplexes and above rental units are being charged exorbitant rates for their sewer service, since your water usage is tied to sewage usage.
