The city of SD is most complicit in this problem. Putting a water cop on the job will do little to remedy the underlying problem. The city continues to ignore the problem in favor of development of large tracts of new homes that are not required to put in grey water systems for landscaping or in homes for sinks, laundry and showers/tubs. Instead of restricting development to limit water use or put severe water use restrictions on what does get built, the residents are once again having to deal with the consequences of a developer friendly, nieghborhood hostile city gov't that encourages and supports unbridled growth over sustainability and quality of life.
