Missing the water waste

Letter from Pat Williams

Water – October 2004 – Colorado Central Magazine

Dear Ed and Martha,

Enclosed is a check for $40 to cover my subscription to Colorado Central until 2006.

I like the magazine; I like your liberal outlook (I used to be one of the very few registered Democrats in Colorado Springs).

I also really appreciate your customer service — the last time I renewed, I asked for a description of bear scat and Ed was nice enough to Xerox a picture. Thanks!

The one thing I think is missing from your on-going articles on water for the Front Range is how water is wasted in the cities. I used to live in a subdivision that required bluegrass lawns. In the morning I’d drive to work through water running off from the excessive watering of landscaping. Even after the drought, there’s still incredible waste.
