Michael Korte and wife Laura Whitney from Glendora, CA face $500 in fines and even criminal action if they don’t turn their brown lawn green again, which died because they were trying to comply with California water regulations.
Don’t you just love the government’s ability to coordinate their activities?
On Tuesday — when the couple received the letter — state regulators authorized fines up to $500 for overwatering lawns.‘Despite the water conservation efforts, we wish to remind you that limited watering is still required to keep landscaping looking healthy and green,’ the letter stated.
It included pictures of the dead lawn with a red line through it, a weedy line similarly crossed out, and finally an uncrossed green lawn with a sprinkler.
‘It is telling me I’d better get my lawn green and I have 60 days to do it,’ Laura said.Ironically, on the same day the couple received the letter the State Water Resources Control Board gave local agencies power to fine for overwatering lawns to help reduce water consumption as the state is in the third year of record low rainfall.
Should the couple wish to improve their lawn they’ll likely have to water it every day.
‘It seems like you’ll be fined if you overwater but we will be fined no matter what,’ Laura said.

Screw the gvmt
HUH? I thought they where turning on each other like Brown Shirts when someone had green grass, cus they would claim they are using water wow, it’s divide and conquer, lets all rat out each other, Hitler had that policy, see how that worked?
Just gotta love those Liberal Government Agencies. They always have a “Catch 22” built into them.
Now only an idiot would write this kind of letter. CA is going nuts and are a lot of other government run places. Look at the EPA, regulating the coal industry and car emissions to a standard that is not reachable yet, other regulations are coming like this. They are determined to fine you and get their money anyway they can. I suspect that saying you are going to get an attorney might get them to back off because a common sense judge would drop it in a heartbeat. I don’t know why the city, states and counties don’t go after their own employees who have not paid their taxes, own child support…. that might be a good place to start instead.
Govt at work
