She may have her own well. Just a thought. I personally would feel I'm
wasting water doing 15% every day unless I did have my own well. But
then I
don't water my huge lawn either. I use recycled pond water on my flowers
and veggies.

What makes you think that having your own well gives you the right to
treat water like it's gasoline. It's not like there is an limitless supply
of ground water for everyone to freely use. Decades of using the ground
water in the Salinas valley by the farmers as if it's a free resource has
caused salt water from the oceans to get drawn into the ground water
supply.

Hmmm. I don't think that's the way it works (ie, I think the salt water is
already in the ground, not being drawn in from the ocean), but the largest
aquifer in North America (the Ogallalla acquifer, covering much of the area
between the Rockies and the Mississippi), has been drastically depleted.
You can't just keep taking water out of a well and expecting it to last
forever.

And Carol, please stop adding "= name" to the end of subject lines. Half
the time you seem to be getting the attributions wrong, and for those
benighted folks who have lousy news readers, that don't properly thread
messages, it breaks the threading.
