Just how good are we at managing water?

I couldn't agree more. I know some of my neighbors leave there water sprinklers on for days at a time in the same place without even moving them. I know sprinkler systems cost money to install but they save huge amounts of water and time by not have to move the hose from one spot to another, not to mention when you forget to move them and leave them on oiver night[crazy]. One thing our city did recently, was to charge us not only for the water the we use in our house but now they charge us for water that goes out of our house and down the drain. I had to complain about this because they assumed that all the water coming into the house was also going down the drain. If your city is not charging you for water going down your drain yet, it will happen soon, just another way for the city to bring in more money. There is little doubt that the day will come when they will put a water meter on your secondary water line and charge you for it like they do for culinary use.
