Lazy waste of water

I saw it again yesterday.  It’s the third time in the last two weeks that I’ve seen people cleaning off their driveway and sidewalks with a garden hose!  There was a guy being interviewed on TV about the housing slump and he was hosing off his driveway, oblivious to what he was doing.  Wasting at least 80 gallons of water!  A lady was out yesterday morning hosing off her entry way and the final straw as a construction crew hosing off a sidewalk and driveway after they finished landscaping a church parking lot area.  It’s not only the waste of water that irritates me but also the fact that they are just plain lazy.  We live in a desert where water is our most precious resource and we constantly hear about growing concerns for our water supply due to population growth.  Even our water companies preach water conservation, xtera landscaping, low flow shower heads and toilets, fixing leaks, shortening shower times and people are still wasting water by the gallon because they are too lazy to push a broom.  OK, I’m done and I feel much better.  I will feel even better when I stop next time and say something!
