So reservoirs are full, and Denver Water is relaxing water restrictions on 10/1, and I even discovered that I’d turned the sprinkler system off last weekend and forgotten to turn it back on in time for the Wednesday watering.
So I had it back on last night, and, like every Saturday night, it went on before midnight, late at night. See, I want to run it at night, but I don’t want to run it too early, in case someone wants to take a pre-going-to-bed shower.
Which is why, I guess, since our sprinklers run for more than an hour, we got a watering violation notice this morning, wherein a photo was taken at 2:38a of us watering our lawn on (gasp!) Sunday morning, not our allowed Saturday night.
Yes, the Water Police were out at 3 in the morning, noting that our sprinklers were on during a forbidden day (hrm, always thought of it as Saturday night, but I guess, technically it’s Sunday morning).
I can’t believe, though, that even with the fine, it’s worth their having people driving around looking for this sort of thing. Silly me.
And, I guess, I’ll set the sprinklers to start earlier.
Water police? And to they wear black shiny jack boots and have a penchant for slapping people in the face with their gauntlets?
