As the drought deepens, the Santa Clara Valley Water District has approved fines ranging from $100 to $10,000 for outdoor water wasters, while it asks for a 15% reduction in water usage.
Just in the past month, John Geise and his wife in San Jose's Willow Glen neighborhood made their landscaping more drought-resistant.
Where there was water thirsty grass, there are now pavers and rocks."We did the same for the back yard," Geise went on to say "It is now the stick. We need every tool in the tool box and we need people to know we are serious about more water conservation," said Kirsten Struve, assistant officer of the district's Water Supply Division."It's been the driest three months on record, these first three months of the year, and we haven't seen any water savings yet."
