A day in the life of a water cop

From KPBS:

People living in the city of San Diego have been subject to mandatory water conservation since the beginning of June. A major part of the restrictions involves limiting the hours when yards can watered. To make sure people are following the rules, San Diego employs five so-called water cops. KPBS Metro Reporter Katie Orr spent the day with one.

The city doesn’t actually call them “water cops”. Officially the five people patrolling San Diego checking out water wasting complaints are known as Field Representatives for the Water Department’s Conservation Program. And Field Rep Seneca Page sounds more like an ambassador than an enforcer.

“So we’re going to go out here to a couple of complaints in the Carmel Valley area and check on it and see what’s going on. Hopefully educate the public about the water restrictions,” he says.
