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.


For some, the only environmental concern about using well
water is the electricity expenditure. I live in an area
where a good sized river enters a fresh water bay. I live
less than one mile from the bay, and less than 1.5 miles
from the river. I only use natural products in my yard. My
water table is so high, that in periods of heavy rain, water
percolates up through small holes in the lawn. The problems
occur in areas where well water usage occurs faster than
nature can replace the source, such as the large aquifers in
the west, or when the water is used by large farms, or some
other source that contaminates it. There is as much water
on the earth today as there was at the dawn of time. The
only difference is how much of it is still usable.
