My husband and I walked down Cota Street and saw this water gushing last Wednesday morning. We went to the city parks department on Laguna Street and told them about it, and where it was. They said they would take care of it.
This morning, Monday morning, we walked by again and the water is still gushing! Are we in a drought? Is water gushing like this OK? It’s directly across from the MTD gate on Cota Street, and someone might have seen it? I am appalled that this can be allowed to happen and no one cares.
In all of California, Santa Barbara and Ojai are the only places still considered to be in a drought. Even so, wasting water in CA should never happen, it’s precious everywhere.
Oh no.
I reported a concern using this email recently (WConservation@santabarbaraca.gov), and received a response within minutes.
City workers don’t care. Why did you think otherwise?
Way ta go, Public Works Dept.!!
