My wife read me an article from a magazine she was reading this morning about how much water a bathroom faucet is allow to put out per minute.  I say allowed because the government is involved and has regulations regarding the amount of water a faucet can use, and a toilet for that matter.  I personally feel that this is good we are watching our water consumption, but I have a question.  If our government can regulate the home building/remodeling industry to the point of ensuring manufactures of faucets control their water output, why can't they get a grip on the automobile industry so we can have vehicles that get better mileage then they did when my brother went off to Vietnam?  That was 40 years ago and yet we still only have a few Hybrid vehicles and still find ourselves dependant o... 03/22/2008

Fountain Hills is a unique Arizona community. Fountain Hills is surrounded by the McDowell Mountains to the West, Fort McDowell Indian Reservation to the East, Salt River Indian Reservation to the South and McDowell Mountain Regional Park to the North. Developed in the late 1960’s as a planned community, the designer of Disneyland, Charles Wood Jr conceived the idea to create the world’s tallest fountain, which was installed in Fountain Park in 1970.
