Letters: Amid rain, why was L.A. watering?

Re “Rain brings mud, misery,” March 2

Last Thursday evening, with the first of our recent storms moving into Southern California, I pedaled steadily along the Los Angeles River bike path. Trying to make it home before the heaviest rain came, I noticed all the sprinklers watering the landscaping.

This, just after our governor unveiled his drought relief plan. The storms were given much media attention, so they didn’t take us by surprise. Of all local water users, the city should have been paying attention and

setting an example of conservation.

I would hope that whoever oversees our public irrigation systems would take every opportunity to use our most precious resource wisely.
