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.

(Verses of Holy Quran )
And the Jews call: Ezra Is the son of Allah, and Christians call: The Messiah is the son of Allah. That is their saying with their mouths. They imitate the sayings of those who disbelieved of old. Allah may destroy them. How are they deluded? (9:30)
Say O you of Jews! If you claim that you are friends of Allah apart from (all) mankind, then express your desire for death if you are truthful. (62:6)
They indeed have disbelieved who say: Allah is the Messiah, (Christ) son of Mary. Say: Who then can do anything against Allah, if He had willed to destroy the (Christ) son of Mary, and his mother and everyone on earth? Allah’s is the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them. He creates what He wills. And Allah is Able to do all things. (5:17)
O People of the Book! Do not exaggerate in your religion nor utter anything concerning Allah except the truth. The Christ, Jesus Son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and His word which, He conveyed to Mary and a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers, and say not “Three”. Desist! (it is) better for you! Allah is only One (unique) Glory to Him(for exalted is He) that He should have a son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is a disposer of the affairs. (4:171)
