After reading more on this, I’m leaning towards the ban. Just the numbers alone – 14 gallons per person per day should make most say yes. If the turf is something that hardly anyone walks on except the person mowing it, why not conserve, and replace that greenery with desert landscaping? I see some beautiful landscaping ideas online. I’m sure Nevada can make it look ritzy.
