Sometime during the current drought I d like to see The Voice write an article to explain how the dramatic decrease in water usage was achieved over the last 40 years especially the per-capita reduction. Was it mostly due to widespread adoption of recycled water ( purple pipe water ) for irrigation in North Bayshore, having a smaller percentage of water-hungry single-family homes in our housing mix, the disappearance of manufacturing plants that used lots of water, widespread adoption of low-flow toilets, rapidly escalating water prices, or what? Probably a combination of all these, of course, but which changes had the biggest impact? And where should we turn to ratchet down per-capita usage even further?
