We all pay for landscaping and replacing plants too.
I so want to post something about a douche bag, but I won’t.
Our water costs are very high, but I don't think that watering the grass/gardens is a big contributor. It's household use--showers, washing machines.
Water is a chemical substance with the chemical formula H2O. Its molecule contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms connected by covalent bonds. Water is a liquid at ambient conditions, but it often co-exists on Earth with its solid state, ice, and gaseous state, water vapor or steam.
Water covers 70.9% of the Earth's surface[1], and is vital for all known forms of life.[2] On Earth, it is found mostly in oceans and other large water bodies, with 1.6% of water below ground in aquifers and 0.001% in the air as vapor, clouds (formed of solid and liquid water particles suspended in air), and precipitation.[3] Oceans hold 97% of surface water, glaciers and polar ice caps 2.4%, and other land surface water such as rivers, lakes and ponds 0.6%. A very small amount of the Earth's water is contained within biological bodies and manufactured products.
Confession:
Sometimes I just wash one piece of clothing when I do laundry.
It's not "their" grass, it's "our" grass. Nobody here has their own lawn, it is all part of the Village. So I say, thank you, to those watering to make it look nicer.
I don't think some people walking barton appreciated me washing my car this weekend. But if you can water flowers, I can water my car right?
I was not upset with you washing your car. I wanted you to wash mine too.
Grass is a lot more hardy than most people realize. It's a total waste to be watering grass. Grass has a root system, that can survive a few weeks of heat. Unless you are watering new grass seed (and why anyone would be planting seed any time but the fall is beyond logic), you don't need to water the grass. It doesn't need to 'look' nice when many resources are stressed in a heat wave like we have had. Save the water for drinking and hygiene, let the grass do what it does.
