Subject: Ban on Styrofoam - -WATER RESTRICTIONS
TO THE COUNCIL:
support a total ban on styrofoam in the city of San Luis Obispo .
REGARDING WATER RESTRICTIONS]
I live at 1312 Carmel Street in an 18 unit apt building. I noticed
that it takes 30 to 45 seconds to run my water before it gets warm
or hot. I called the maintenance dept and was told that the water
heater is at the opposite end of the building and there is nothing
to be done. Also, they are checking regarding putting new water
saving washers in the building that would require using certain
soaps. I am all for them taking that action.

COUNCIL MEETING: D(V 0)_ I S
ITEM NO.:
I suggest the following be considered :
1. IN NEW HOMES, APTS AND DEVELOPMENTS
A. NO GRASS, ONLY DROUGHT RESISTENT PLANTS
B. WASHERS THAT ARE WATER SAVING
C. WATER HEATERS THAT ARE PLACED SO THAT ALL HOMES
AND APT COMPLEXES RECEIVE EQUAL DISTRIBUTION OF
HOT WATER
D. NO SWIMMING POOLS ( I believe I heard that the new complex
development in the Orcott area is planning a swimming pool. That
should be deleted from their plans.
2. A REBATE PLAN FOR INSTALLING WATER SAVING WASHERS IN
IN EXISTING PROPERTIES.
3. A REBATE PLAN TO ENCOURAGE RESTAURANTS TO INSTALL
WATER SAVING DISHWASHERS OR OTHER EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE
TO SAVE WATER.
4. HIGHERS FINES FOR THOSE ABUSING THE WATERING OF YARDS,
RUNOFF OF WATER ON SIDEWALKS AND STREETS.
5. Ban on water served in restaurants. Charge of 10 cents for a request
of water. I heard that Catalina Island is doing this already.
I don't know if any wineries fall in the city jurisdiction, but a ban on any new
wineries that do fall in the cities borders. Also, restrictions on water use
in those wineries that already exist in the city, and fines for those that
go over the limit.
Thank You for Consideration in these matters
