Couple face $500 fine for letting their lawn turn brown - after they stopped watering it to comply with California water-saving rules

A Southern California couple who scaled back watering due to drought received a letter from the city of Glendora warning that they could face fines if they don't get their brown lawn green again.

The San Gabriel Valley Tribune reports the letter from the code enforcement bureau says the dry grass could be a 'potential public nuisance problem.'

Michael Korte and his wife Laura Whitney are told if they don't revive the lawn they could be hit with up to $500 in fines and possible criminal action.

Uh, California is in a severe drought.  :mental:

These bureaucrats won't care how they get it green again. Water usage is a different department.
