Update on the "meter" savings from Town of Blacksburg

Do you remember when I posted about the water "savings" that the Town of Blacksburg offers by buying a special meter and monitoring the water not going to the sewer? Well, savings my right arm! The meter costs $150 or so dollars... we're spending MAYBE $5/month more in water due the garden. I'm not a PhD student in Environmental Engineering or anything, but I'm pretty sure that the payback period on that meter is 3 years. Oh wait, if we factor in that we only garden for 5 or so months of out of the year, I guess the meter will pay for itself in 6 years or so... Yeah, ok.

Needless to say (but I will anyway) we did not buy the meter!

Happy Farming!
