[signature] Re: [BEARCLAW] Utahs biggest water users - guppyslayer - 06-07-2004 everyone one of my neighbors have the sprinklers running every day. All their yards are so green it almost makes your eyes hurt. Yes its nice to look at, but i don't understand them at all. I guess all the lakes/reservoirs will have to be empty before some people get a clue! Re: [guppyslayer] Utahs biggest water users - Troll - 06-08-2004 Tonight I will water my lawn for the firsst time this year. It looks good but is starting to stress. One hour should about do it for this week. [signature] Re: [BEARCLAW] Utahs biggest water users - fishinA - 06-08-2004 The water usage propaganda fails to mention how much water farmers use. I dont condone the usage of the people named in the article but at least a 40,000 sq ft home produces huge property tax. When a farm uses 3 times as much water with a tiny fraction of the tax. Most of this talk of water shortage blamed on home owners I believe is to prepare the public to get used to pay full price for are water wich is currently subsidized by the gov. Farm land out west has been converted into subdiviosions wich use less per acre than the farm before. depending on the crop of coarse. The diffrence is farmers have a powerfull lobby. Home owners do not in that regaurd. [signature] |
