“On the same day the state approved mandatory outdoor watering restrictions with the threat of $500 fines, the Southern California couple received a letter from their city threatening a $500 penalty for not watering their brown lawn.  It’s brown because of their conservation, which, besides a twice-a-week lawn watering regimen, includes shorter showers and larger loads of laundry.  They’re encouraged by the state’s new drought-busting, public service slogan: Brown is the new green.  The city of Glendora sees it differently.  Residents are caught in the middle of conflicting government messages as the need for conservation clashes with the need to preserve attractive neighborhoods.”
