That's nuts, but if he wants to pay for it then I guess it's his deal.

There are water restrictions since they are about to completely run out of water... As in your faucet will no longer work.. seriously


Even if he wants to spend the money doesn't mean he should, that is ridiculous and bullshit no way that estate needs to use that much even if he wants his lawn green as hell

Well if there are restrictions in place then they should have laws in place to keep him from doing this... at least I would think... lol but they said he was not breaking the law... sounds like it's time for the law to be re-written... :)

They said they can't prove he's breaking the law... besides that it's fucking wasteful.. there is no need to use that much water... it just pisses me off.. :pissed

Maybe he has a huge indoor swimming pool. He then drains and filll it once a month . An olympic size pool is about 660,000 gallons, so he could have one half that size.

Probably has some kind of underground water soaker system. I dunno, that's insane on the amount of water they use. He and Al Gore must be good friends though. They say that Gore's home uses in one month the equivalence of a year's worth of utilities for an average home or two.

Think of them as canteens. ;) Actually, the water bottles I have are not one like you buy from Evian, Aquafina, etc. They're thick plastic reusable bottles. The filter I have is a charcoal countertop Pur unit that makes tap water taste decent. :)

Saves money, so the wife can't complain. ;)

That is crazy, dam. Some people just don't care how their ridiculous life style affect others. Case in point. :no
