California is experiencing a repeat of one of the worst droughts in its history and Santa Cruz residents are being asked to do their part to conserve.
But water conservation is a cooperative effort and our local water officials need to begin generating creative alternatives before the current shortage reaches truly dire proportions.
At a minimum, citizens should be offered a program that would provide financial incentives to homeowners willing to install grey water catchment laundry to landscape systems to safely reuse household water. There should also be a program that would offer inexpensive and space practical rainwater catchment barrels of 250 gallons or more.
Before they ask more from a community where the per capita daily water usage is less than half the statewide average and among the lowest 6% of all California public water systems, our local water policy makers need do their part.
