San Jose couple fight drought with American flag lawn

Very few homeowners in America like having a brown lawn. The severe drought in California and subsequent mandatory lawn watering reductions have many families choosing to decorate their lawn with green paint. One couple decided that green was too common and used the opportunity to express their patriotism.

The Deckers of San Jose went through 15 cans of spray paint to meticulously craft the American Flag onto their lawn. It’s now Fourth of July every day for the San Jose couple.

According to CBS:

San Jose has put some of the toughest water conservation laws into place. Each home is now assigned a certain amount of water to use. That amount is 30 percent less than the homeowners used in 2013. If they go over that amount and the surcharges start racking up. Water cops will be on the lookout for violators and multiple violators will face $500 fines.
