Water narc wannabe
Last evening, I walked my dogs through the reluctantly historic Oakhurst neighborhood in Decatur. I noticed two people watering their yards with hoses and one home with a lawn sprinkler running. In addition, several homes we passed had lawns and gardens whose thickness and greenness indicate they’ve been watered since the total outdoor watering ban went into effect.
I muttered under my breath, but did not report the H2Outlaws to the DeKalb County Aqua Hunger Enforcement Team. I didn’t feel like being a water narc.
Fast-forward to this morning.
The AJC reports that the current drought is so severe, Lake Lanier could be Lake Not-Here in three months.
Now I think I was wrong to not have notified the water cops.
Any readers out there feeling similarly conflicted?
