On Sept. 30, the Herald ran an article on the schedule for irrigation districts to end water delivery.
This article basically reported our neighborhood's turn-off date would be Oct. 15, as is usual. Based on this knowledge, I purchased $167 of fertilizer and spread it on my two-acre lawn ready for the odd-day watering schedule KID requested we follow. That night, I heard from our home owners association that KID turned off the water Oct. 11, sure enough, four days early. Now my fertilizer will not be watered in and will evaporate.
Thanks KID. I eagerly present you with the Fickle Finger of Fate award.
