This is a bad idea.
Our beaches are extremely important for individuals, families and tourist.
People need to rinse off at the end of their beach day.
We all know how sandy our kids get at the beach, we need to rinse them off before going home.
Locals will bring their own jugs of water to rinse off with, but tourist are screwed.
Now tourist will get sand all over their rental cars and will have to rinse off sand at their hotel or rental.
To rub salty sand into the wound, it cost on average $15 a day to park at a state beach, annual passes are $195.
That is a lot to pay for no beach showers.
The same amount of water will still be used with the beach shower shut off,
possibly more, just at a different location.
Maybe this is good news for plumbers who get to root out pipes clogged with beach sand.

WC is spot on
ReplyDeleteWell there isn't really a water shortage. What's my evidence?? Look at Government buildings and landscape. Enc Post office at garden View and El Camino, grass is pretty green there. How about our local schools?? SDA no dead grass except in places they don't have a sprinkler system, Ada Harris elementary?? Plenty of green grass there, in fact they have so much water they waste it and allow it so flow into the street. But my favorite is your favor also, DEL MAR RACETRACK!!! "Where the turf has never looked greener" BTW, the horse don't run on the TURF, it's just for show, cause it looks nice. The DM racetrack is a state owned property and we citizens must do as we are told not as the Govt elites do...they are special.
ReplyDeleteThere does seem to be a shortage of water in front of Surfy Surfy, all of JP's poppy flowers are dead. So I suppose that's a city sponsored water shortage.
ReplyDeleteWell JP bad news. The city wants your poppy flowers dead. How do I know?? They are HAND watering the flowers at cottonwood Creek park AND the flowers are in full bloom at the triangle park near Swami's. I saw those last night while partying at UNION. Your mighty attempt to bring some color to Leucadia is being shot down.
