wasting water in WalCo

[jodiFL]

We have several well fields located in the area. The main one is located just to the north of the bay I believe.

Yes, Regional Utlilities in SoWal buys their water from the City of Freeport.


FYI - the water pipe between the SoWal Library and Health Dpt is still leaking vigorously.

I also noticed that the level on the tank there at the substation was really low the other day. But I was to busy checking out all the cars across the street this afternoon to see if it had gone back up today.

I nominate jodiFL and SJ to start a morning show on Radio 30A!!!!

I agree 100% Joe. Does Walton County have a plan to implelemt any of the simple changes you mentioned? That would at least be a start at least...When we have water we don't tend worry about it--(i.e., yea, let the lawn sprinklers run during a rainstorm attitude (that is a pet peeve of mine!)...It seems so simple, really.

How about a "citizens movement" like taking pictures of businesses and homes watering the road and post them in a thread titled "Goobers of 30A"? I would have suggested "Wasted on 30A", but most people would get the wrong impression.

Thanks. I'll take a look at the WalCo website for more info.

As someone who splits their time between Grayton Beach and North Georgia, I'm interested in just where South Walton County gets its water. Can anyone fill me in?

Rock Hill.

Interestingly, the County Commissioners(BCC) are considering making some of the other local roads, like CR 295, CR 283, CR 83, and CR 393 have some official Scenic definition, not as strict as Hwy 98, which is a "Scenic Corridor," but more like 30A. Though 30A doesn't seem to define some common sense requirements like natural native landscaping (drought tolerant), sprinklers not aimed at roads, etc, the BCC is working on creating language defining those little things for the additional roads mentioned above. They held the first public hearing on the scenic definitions last night.
