Save water – unless you’re building homes
We are under extreme water restrictions, yet we build and build for more and more residents to use more and more water.
Is there no end to insanity?

Lots of new homes, not so much water
I have been living here for over 20 years and have been mostly happy.
Maybe someone can explain this water problem to me.
We can only water once a week, and we work so hard to keep our lawns looking good.
(Well, not anymore with the one-day watering.)
What I don’t understand is why we keep building and inviting more people here when there isn’t enough water.
Anyone who moves here will need water.
Why do we need more buildings for more people if we’re in trouble now?
Ann Gagne, Sarasota
