Yes we on a well, so we never use to much in a single day. I think it is wrong for people to waste water watering a yard in Central Oregon's heat! We hae one person in the area that waters his bunch grass, just scrub grass, not even a real yard. Wasting water on junk natural grass clumps! not right
Piping the canals to conserve water is the logical next step. Where does Commissioner Adair think the wildlife got a drink before the canals were made over 100 years ago? I will admit reducing Junipers and reinvigorating our wild grasslands makes sense.
The canals were not put in as "water features" for people's backyards. Build your own water feature and pay for the water. This water is meant for agriculture.
Commission Adair, where do you think wildlife get water when irrigation water is off Oct-March? Please share your plan and funding strategy for removing 5 million juniper trees. What will happen to the wildlife that live in those trees. Your argument is weak.
Why do Bend residence have to accommodate Jefferson county. I'm sure someone up there can figure a way go pump the water they need out of Lake Billy Chinook
Stopped growing lawn.
