Hey Dane, do they ever restrict water usage out there? As in limit sprinkling your lawn, or outlaw you from washing your ride in your driveway, etc?

No one washes their car in their driveway. We all go to car washes that are $9.99. It's waste of water to do it at home.

As for the lawn, occasionally they'll ask that you limit your usage but more likely, they'll just control the water pressure.

So far this year, I've seen no such control.

yes, i concur, but here in Georgia, folks do, i don't, but others do (wash car in drive.)

But, yes Georgia has ridiculously harsh watering rules. It's out of hand and at the same time kinda funny.

We've had DWP restrictions for months. Automatic sprinklers can only be used on Monday and Wednesday and not from 9 am to 4 pm.

Really?

I didn't get that note, nor have I had any water restrictions.

Probably because I'm in a fire zone and they want to keep us watered.

Over 100 K acres now.

If the national wildland fire prep level bumps up to three (it is holding at two - three weeks ago it was a three, but activity in WA and AK has died down), I may be paying you LA planeteers a visit.

Are there many folks bitching about the fire in Yosemite? The prescribed fire that went wild.

One of the "restrictions" we've been subjected to is tiered pricing, where they stick huge fees on if you don't conserve 15% a month. It's not a restriction per say, but it is noticeable.

So much for my visiting-Dane-Eva-Longoria-car-wash fantasy. :(

Ok, the prep level is at three as of late last night.

Call out list, here I come.

Yup, they told us about that. You can use as much as you want, but they'll charge you an assload for it.

In that case, PM me, Bro.

We'll be in San Diego for the Holiday weekend but otherwise, I'll be around.

Be safe.

120,000+ acres now. Wow, this bastard is ripping through those 40 year old fuels. They've got nearly 4,000 personnel assigned. There were no improvements overnight because the RH is staying low and the wind is sustained.

Apparently, they are experiencing some nasty spotting (not that kind of spotting - flaming fuel flying in the wind and igniting new spot fires) which is very dangerous.

is this that 'Act of God' thingy insurance companies rattle home all of the time?
