Letter: Go after real water wasters

Monday, Sept. 17, 2001 | 8:28 a.m.

What will the neighbors think?

We have all those man-made lakes to replenish, all those fountains to be filled, all those golf courses to be watered and another lake proposed by Mr. Steve Wynn. Here we are in the middle of a desert.

I don't think the neighbors will care if it's potable or nonpotable water. It's water. It evaporates into the air and is wasted just the same.

Tell the Las Vegas Valley Water District to please leave the homeowners with postage stamp-size lawns alone and concentrate on the big offenders, and I'm sure the neighbors will think better of us.
