Why not lift the restriction, after all the government structure of Greensboro has screwed everything else up. Why change now?

You'd have thought they would at least wait until Lake Townsend was full. It's still down 16 inches as of today and was only 2 weeks ago down 48 inches. I think we're a little early in relaxing the restrictions. I don't see the real need to water lawns just yet anyway.

Rapid development and rezoning have continued (at the expense of the residents, and to the benefit of the crooks on city council) so why not?

Of course I will water my lawn only if needed. And maybe I will resent the sloven, lack-a-daisical way Randleman Damn was developed and the failure to use it, once full, a little less.

Apparently the developers that run the city have decided one of their projects was due for some landscaping work.

NO. Relaxing the restrictions will only imply to many people the water shortage problem is over. The limited water resources for a growing population demand we change our past ways of wasting water.

Absolutely NO! By choosing to not plant annuals this year because of the drought Greemsboro made a statement! Now by relaxing the water restrictions they appear to be talking the talk, but not walking the walk!

As of Saturday Lakes Townsend and Brandt reported negative readings; I suppose this means spillways have to be open to discharge excess water.

At some point we will have to decide if we want to live under permanent limited restrictions and permit the water savings to be consumed by further development and expansion of city borders, or figure how to ensure lifestyle quality at our present size and sate of development.
