Those wacky libtards. Hey it's free money so why not!
[quote]DUBLIN (KPIX 5) – Amid California’s record drought, the City of Dublin is breaking ground on a massive new water park. Residents are wondering about the timing of the project.
At Dublin’s Emerald Glen Park the grass gets recycled water, the kid’s spray jets have been shut off and the large fountain is dry as a bone, all to save water. So it’s a little surprising to learn they’re about to build a $35 million water park.
The city’s parks director said the recreation and aquatic center will include indoor and outdoor pools and water slides. "The voters have voted for the park and it's been in the planning so we're moving forward with it's construction."
Even kids, who will enjoy the park the most, have questions about the timing. “Kind of weird, it’s a drought. Why are they gonna use all that water for a water park?” said Evan Rusconi.
But the city said they have signed contracts to begin construction this week, with completion coming in 2017, drought or no drought.
“When we finish the project and it’s still in a drought and we can’t fill the pools, we’ll address it at that point in time. But we are moving forward with the project as planned,” McCreary said.
