I\u2019m puzzled. We are supposed to be in a drought. We have been asked by the city over and over again to save water. There are restrooms down in Pacific Beach with toilets that waste a lot of water. With every flush, gallons and gallons go down the drain. Recently, the restroom at Law Street and Ocean Walk was closed for renovations. Great, I thought. Now, surely, the water waste will be addressed and low-flush toilets will be installed. Wrong. After several months for renovation, I discovered that the newly installed toilets flushed even more water. I have been taking the water crisis seriously. My husband and I have installed low-flush toilets, shower every three days and do the laundry and dishwasher only when full. We\u2019ve taken out our lawn, put in imitation grass, re-landscaped with rocks, boulders and drought-tolerant plants. So I ask, Mayor Jerry Sanders, what is the city doing to save water? Why did the city install these high-volume flush toilets? I would hope the city would lead by example.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
