~ A Monrovia woman who got hit with a $250 fine has written to the city to say that it is wrong for the city "to be issuing both over-watering and non-watering citations at this time." Patricia Neville adds: "I believe the City of Monrovia is on the wrong side of history pursuing a dead vegetation ordinance in a severe drought.

How as a Monrovian resident how are you supposed to know when you've reached your billing limit of water usage besides getting a water bill with a surcharge? How will you know if that last laundry load, your last shower, or dishwashing effort will put you into a water over limit surcharge situation. We have no water gauges on our faucets or toilets. Sometimes there's no thought about how residents deal with laws imposed upon them.
ReplyDeleteI understand about the need to conserve water during this drought, but we're being given a set of rules to follow and asking us to monitor and restrict our water consumption with a crystal ball.
