I'd like to know what protection measures are in place for the communities as a whole? My call to the ACSA today yielded a very frustrated Co. department that has received numerous complaints about the lessened restrictions as well as complaints from Co. lawn care/nursery businesses and residents who have spent several $1,000s on their lawns and plantings and don't mind paying a fine for continuing to water despite the earlier restrictions.
