Letter: Better water rule enforcement, service needed

Wednesday, Aug. 13, 2003 | 8:48 a.m.

The citizens of Nevada are being asked to conserve water. I understand the situation and the need to conserve. I just have a few questions.

My husband called last Sunday about a water leak in front of our house on the street. A few times during the week, someone came to mark off the area. When they finally came to repair it (about a week later), I noticed they did more standing around and talking than actually working on the leak. Obviously, the water district is not too concerned about the wasted water from the leakage.

Also in our area, near Laurel Wood Park, at Spring Valley Parkway and Gunderson Boulevard, there is water on the streets every day due to sprinkler runoff. Is anyone doing anything about that?

I don't mind doing my part, but I think the worst culprits are the people who make the rules.
