He asked if we could attend their <br />annual association meeting on April 28, 2008.. <br />Jerry CTumplirey and I attended this meeting and about 30 association members also attended. <br />showed a power point presentation on Elk River Water Resources and presented some water <br />conservation measures which are enclosed. Also given to them are the attached graphs which <br />reflect sprinkling water consumption for the last three years and sprinkling water-costs for the <br />last two years. Their major problem is they use, on occasion, over one million gallons,~month <br />between their two irrigation meters. A $2,SOOimonth water bill is common. <br />The meeting went very well with good discussions but they struggle with the concept of water <br />conservation anti not having green grass. <br />
