I bet the golf course are green and the artsy-fartsy fountains at hotels, malls, city parks, and gated neighborhoods are pumping.
I live in so cal in an area that is on the moderate/severe area. I delivered payroll yesterday to a client doing business in a gated community. There is a large water feature, man made pond and falls, at the enterance, and no water was running, and the water level was low. It never looked like this before. With our recent spring storms, well, any precipitation is welcome.
Don’t forget the thousands of swimming pools in people’s back yards that are rarely used.
Look at CA celebrity homes on real estate sites and all their elaborate lush green lawns, gardens and swimming pools.
