Patrick Mahoney: MJC needs reminding that we’re still on short water rations

Was around MJC East about 10:33 p.m. on Aug. 21 when I noticed the sprinklers near the gym running like crazy for what looked like a long time. The streets had water running and flooding the gutters. Doesn’t look like a good way to set a example for the rest us trying to conserve water. Maybe someone should remind the college that we are still on a drought watering program.
