Anyone reporting a hose user had better be sure the 'offender' is
definitely using it for an illegal purpose. There may not be many
inches between a garden path (legal to wash down with a hose) and a
garden border (illegal to water with a hose).

Ah, but if they are close, you can bounce the water off the path, and
have it 'accidentally' water your vegetables...
