lawn and golf courses. Since April, I have been catching water from the kitchen and have been greatly surprised at how much I was wasting with just letting the water run while I washed a few dishes. Now, I catch it in a basin, empty that into a bucket, and when the bucket is full, I use it to water the flowers and shrubs. During a 24 hour period heavy water usage during the months when I was canning the stuff from my garden, I probably emptied my 5 gallon bucket 10 times. I'm on a well and am not bound by those restrictions imposed on municipal water depts., but I am committed to conserving the water.

In answer to the OP, I'm not sure. We're all in this together, and I would much rather see that water used for the mussels than to fill swimming pools or water (municipal) golf courses.
