Good grief! Just when I thought it was safe to go back into the water…!

Imagine my surprise when I turned the page our ad appears on to read George?EUR??,,????'?????<

I have a small ornamental fountain in my back yard in Albuquerque that I run for a few hours after work a few months out of the year while I enjoy a dry martini and watch the sun set after a day of selling my soon to be illegal wares. It holds about 50 gallons. Definitely a serious environmental threat ?EUR??,,????'?????<

All modern water features recirculate the same water. In fact, based on NOAA evaporative loss averages a properly designed water feature uses less water than if the same space was landscaped and irrigated.

Improved air quality, as water features filter and scrub the air we breathe (you remember all the dirty air the EPA has apparently cleaned up since they now have time to go after water features as the next great environmental battleground) removing dust, dirt, allergens and other airborne pollutants.

Water features can serve as screens for noise pollution.

Water features enhance the urban environment and convey a positive quality of life in the community.

What next? A warning label on every fountain?

WARNING: This ornamental fountain contains clean, recirculated water that may be hazardous to your health.

Come on EPA! Don?EUR??,,????'?????<

Well, thanks for listening. Its time for me to go home and enjoy my fountain before the ornamental fountain agents come knocking.
