Water, water - going nowhere!

Incompetency and sheer waste has once again reared its ugly head in the kingdom of this clowncil. A couple of days ago I observed clowncil's 'watering truck' at work. What did the operator do, like any normal, sensible human being would? Did he get out of his truck? Did he really ensure that this precious water was being used to best effect? Of course not!!! He sat in the truck and aimed the hose at this poor suffering exhibit of nature. The result? The force of the water blasted the mulch all over the place, and the water itself ran every which way. Because there was also a slight slope, I would hazard a guess that most of the water was lost, running off into gutters. Again, I ask - who supervises? who works out the protocols and 'best practice' for these basic necessities? who is responsible for such inefficiency and wastage? how much does this bloke earn? and how much of our ratepayers' money is being 'washed down the drain' through these continual stuff ups?
