All Day I Face The Barren Waste...

In case you didn't recognize the title of this blog, it's from a Marty Robbin's song, Water.  I really like that song, but if you live in Tuscaloosa, Alabama right now, you might want to turn the old sprinkler off for a while.

The Mayor of Tuscaloosa, Walt Maddox, said the water tank near the North River area had dropped to less than 25% of it's capacity, prompting the mayor to ask North of the River residents to cut off the water use, or at least curtail it a bit.

If you live north of the Black Warrior River in Tuscaloosa, the city of Tucaloosa has asked that those folks with odd-numbered street addresses to only water their lawns on odd-numbered dates, and residents with even-numbered addresses shouold water their lawns on even-numbered dates.  Additionally, the city of Tuscaloosa has also asked that residents only water their lawns between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m.

I kind of like the idea myself.  Less grass to cut.

Maybe lawns are not natural to your area and should be discouraged. I am thinking of areas like Southern California and Arizona where residents are encouraged to landscape with low water consuming plants.
