I would support Jerry Brown making it statewide, as the drought is statewide. Doing it locally wouldn't do anything, water wise. If people moved to Vista or Carlsbad instead of Encinitas, they would still use water from the same sources.<br /><br />It is now believed that the Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498088266607942041.post-64774288371559690852015-04-07T22:46:53.504-07:002015-04-07T22:46:53.504-07:00enact a building moratorium today.

Outdoor watering and toilet tanks should use those sources as primary. <br /><br />Also, water softener recharging uses a lot of water and pumps salt brine into the sewage system, which harms the usefulness of recycled purple pipe water.
