I’ve been watching La Manzanilla water issues for probably ten years or more. Longer than I’ve been here and it’s the same issue every year. Personally I think every home should have water meters and people be billed accordingly. A friend in Agua Caliente says the ejido charges 5000 pesos per year for people with pools. Many people here have lawns they water year round and only live here part time and leave as the water issues get worse for locals. One friend in La Manzanilla got rid of all his plants that needed watering for drought resistant plants. Education of everyone is the main thing. Pools lose a centimeter per day to evaporation and more if it has leaks. Everyone needs to do their part and not expect someone else to make the changes. Jalisco and our area has been in drought conditions for years. Another way to look at voluntary conservation is it’s an investment in your investment. In other words when there’s no water here your investment will be worth nothing. In Los Ingenios where we live they only turn water on three days a week for two hours each day. Conservation and repair of broken lines and reduce ones use.
