Stage 1 Drought Restrictions Hosed?

Here is a note from and for our friends of San Marcos Springs:
Next Tuesday, June 16, the San Marcos City Council will do the second of two readings and vote on a proposed change in Stage 1 drought restrictions that would allow homeowners to choose the day they want to water. With the San Marcos River at a critically low flow level, now is not the time to “water down” the water conservation rules. The new rule as currently written would render the Stage 1 restrictions unenforceable, since no one would ever know whether the resident had already watered once that week. The “assigned days” option made clear to everyone what day of the week was most appropriate for watering in order to cooperatively "take turns" as you would expect in a community that wants to keep the water flowing. Contact the mayor and council with a brief email stating your concerns and send it to: Mayor_Council_Info@ci.san-marcos.tx.us.
