I grew up in Northern California so I was ALWAYS conscious of water use and conservation......it was as much a part of out life as wearing a seat belt when getting into a car.

I them moved to southern CA when I got out of school and haven't had to worry about it since...............because we get all that water we need from up north and because that Mullholland guys made sure we'd have enough water down here way back in the 30's so we really don't care about those guys up north...............Now I live in AZ and I think it's about time that those selfish people in So Cal buck up and start saving water
