KNOW "Y" AND THEN NO "Y"

Newport announces Level 1 Water Conservation for homeowners; however, the city along with the Irvine company is proposing an evolution of developmental projects along with high density housing that will change our environmental footprint and our city landscape, as well as, our infrastructure in our community. This is where I need help understanding. Where is this additional water going to come from to support these projects and these people? I like the plan that Santa Barbara initiated in the 1987-1992 drought, “There were no new water meters issued, unless the structure or the building site already had an existing water meter.” In my opinion, I think the cities of Newport Beach and Costa Mesa should adopt a similar restriction there should be NO new building permits issued, unless there is an existing water meter.
