GO OMWD! There priorities are the current ratepayers, not new development.

No new meters, recycled water and desalted water are all good things.

Isn't all those new homes built in La Costa Valley in OMWD? Get planning guys.

Why don't you add another lawn intensive million more homes and golf courses to our arid desert?

Hey lets build on every square inch of this desert and pump the crap out of the natural water ways.

We are humans and we are born to destroy! YEAH!

It's also known as Leucadia Donuts. Tom makes the best donuts anywhere and he always has a friendly smile.

There's a Tom's Donut shop?

good for the water district in taking the lead in meter restriction! This is the first district I know that is placing the customer needs ahead of the developer's greed.

I'll stop watering when the golf course stops and not a second before. The whole drought is a political ploy to raise rates and get more tax money to spend.

Why don't we have several desal plants planned if we are truly worried about water?

Vote out Jerome Stocks.

I won't be doing any serious water conservation until new hookups are stopped. We are barely into the 20 to 30 year dry cycle of the North Pacific Oscillation. Those of us who lived through the last dry cycle from 1953 to 1978 know how dry it can get. Lake Hodges never filled during that period. Now with millions more living in Southern California, it is insanity to not start serious water restrictions on new hookups now.

Encinitas is not participating in the Carlsbad desal plant. That's a good decision, as the water will never be delivered at the promised price with the rising energy prices. This plant is a way to keep the development machine going and to avoid any discussion on putting limits on growth. But at some point we will have to have that discussion. Better sooner than later.

I am not conserving anymore than I normally do.

The biggest conservation would be to stop approving the thousands of new water services planned in North County.

We don't have enough water period.

Don't let Jerome Stocks developer buddies keep profiting off of the existing residents.

Vote out Jerome in November.

2008-07-25T15:06:00.000-07:00

I have always felt there was no reason to conserve unless the various water districts demonstrated the real need by discontinuing hookups. Only good logic, but being a good cynic, I was waiting for the typical developer loophole. The quote in the press release is "The only exceptions for new service connections in Level 2 will be for public health and safety, previously issued and unexpired building permits, or if the developer can offset all of the water demands of the new service connection."

Should be interesting to find out what that really means.

Just buy bottled water, take showers every other day, have a rock garden as a front yard, and floss instead of brushing your teeth (my dentist says that is more important anyway), oh and if it yellow leave it mellow, if its brown flush it down (no option there).

I am a native of Southern Calif. and know a little of California history. Almost all of Soutehrn California is a semi-arrid desert. When Los Angeles was first developed, some shrewd developers, who I imagine are now very wealthy, bought the land that is now called the California Aquaduct. It extends way up into the Northern part of the state. They then built the the Aquduct to provide water to the lower half of California. They did this so that they could develop So. Calif. and there was not enough water to do it without other sources. So, whether we are actually in a full fledged drought seems like a moot point to me. The fact is, we have no water of our own in SO. Cal. We import most of it. I belive that we, as individuals, have the capacity to conserve a great deal and whether the State waters UCSD's lawn is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. We need to conserve. Not just water, but all sorts of things. Why is this so terrible to some of you? Do you really need to consume so much that you won't stop until there is a law? If so, don't complain about the laws. If we all did our part, what a difference it could make in all of our lives, including our children and their children.

I don't believe there is a drought! I drove home last week from La Jolla at 11 PM , all the sprinklers were watering the streets at UCSD. If the state of California says there is a drought, why are they watering the streets?? Why should I conserve so the state can water the street??

2008-07-25T11:25:00.000-07:00

No new hookups at a time when there is no building going on!

Why not make sure you didn't have too many hook ups before we had a drought!

Mark Muir the treasurer of a water district? Isn't Mark Muir our fire chief?

Isn't Mark Muirs wife involved in TIP?

WTF. Is that guy is a political wonder?

Does Jerome's kids go to TIP?

I guess if you give political contributions to Jerome Stocks, You can get charter schools approved and replace all existing stations with oceanview $5 million dollar fire stations with all first class amenities. McRitz at the expense of tax payers of course.
