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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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).<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
And, I guess, I’ll set the sprinklers to start earlier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
