newsobserver.com | Water use misses Easley's mark (http://www.newsobserver.com/weather/drought/story/766154.html - broken link)
Surprisingly residents of Cary (which I believe has much more of its water supply remaining than the rest of the Triangle) conserved the most in this area. Cary also was the last town to ban outdoor watering.

Why is that surprising? Cary has instituted water conservation measures (including alternate day watering) since 2000, whereas the other towns and cities in the triangle haven't considered it until recently.
Yes, but Cary residents already were conserving due to the tiered pricing and year round water restrictions so to have conserved more than the rest of the Triangle is surprising to me. Also, the other areas banned outdoor watering much earlier than Cary.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Cary have the highest residential water usage per capita of any community in the triangle? Even with their year round conservation measures? So, we should applaud the glutton for only eating two steaks instead of three?

Read the article. It's talking about the five weeks beginning 10/1. Very little of Cary is on reclaimed water (unfortunately). My point is areas in the Triangle outside of Cary that have much less water left are conserving less for some crazy reason.
Hubby and I have been a bit perturbed to see water standing in the curb where someone in our neighborhood has been watering a lawn. Are the re-seeding permits still being honored -- those that got them before the ban -- or are we long past the permits being good?
People can still water with a hose, no? Just not with an irrigation system, or a sprinkler set out in the yard.
