I can't understand why people move here and want to make it look just like home in Ohio. The present population is being asked to conserve water so that more people can move in and use more water. Instead, she believes in limiting development. Stopping growth is not a popular concept, she knows. Those screaming the loudest would be the developers.
Some contractors also say to conserve.
Then they will have more water and they can build more houses for more people. All efforts aimed at increased population will, in the end, use more water. There's no limit on greed, but there is a limit on the amount of water. Then those in real estate will not find many eager buyers in the area if there is no water. McKimpson does believe in xeriscaping.
