Bureaucracies are wonderful

Our permits are ready to go. But, in Monterey, the Water Department has unimaginable power. We just found out that the MPWMD want:
  • An inspection of the existing water usage in the house
    • note: the inspector doesn't have an opening for 2 weeks!!!!
  • An addendum to our deed restricting the property to low-flow appliances
    • this has to be approved by their lawyer
    • their lawyer only works 1 FRIGGIN DAY A WEEK!!!!
    • after legal review, the changes have to be recorded with the county

This mess of red-tape is now standing in the way of our project getting started.
