Watering grass and concrete

I was riding my pushbike home on Saturday night (January 4) around 9pm and noticed a resident at the end of Trafalgar St, Umina, watering the street grass verge and the footpath,

We are in a time of catastrophic fire danger.

Our water supplies are dwindling, and this person felt that it is ok to water the concrete footpath.

People's attitudes still amaze me.

It is grass and the concrete could be swept if they think it is untidy, but no let's just waste water on things that are not essential.

If this person thinks that it is ok to water the grass and concrete, do it in daylight hours.

Don't do it under the cover of darkness.
