I am also super pissed at my neighbors- Water wasters.

We are in severe drought, are only supposed to water once a week on a certain day between 5 and 9 a.m., and then 7 and 10 p.m. She watered whenever / however she wanted until my complaint to the code enforcement officer got through and she got cited. So now she runs a soaker hose throughout her front lawn and continues to water all day, every day. She also turns on a sprinkler in her back yard in the evening and lets it run all night. She thinks water restrictions are too much govt. intervention. Dumb as a sack of hammers.

Oh wait, I am.

Start turning off her water. Continue calling code enforcement until they are sick of you. I'd like to mention more things to do, but want to keep us both out of trouble.

What does she plan on drinking when we are out of water?

She and her hubby are very anti-govt. and I suspect they are packing and willing to shoot revenuers and trespassers.
