To the editor:
Unfortunately, even after writing a letter to the editor pointing out the failures by the city of Cape Coral and their Code enforcement agency to address the prohibitive irrigation use in the northeast and northwest, the same violations continue to repeat by many of the same violators.
In trying to address the excuses by many violators, who claim no knowledge, the city sent out cards to all residents by mail, printed in both English and Spanish (which should not be necessary) of these restrictions. This should put to rest some excuses for non-compliance.
The sad thing is that even after documented calls to code enforcement, the violations continue. Turning a blind eye to enforcement does not correct these ills and the suffering those in those areas.
Truly a sad situation from the city's non-enforcement to those residents continuing to violate this prohibitive irrigation use. Responsibility for these violations begin with the city leadership down to all involved.
Maybe after being warned once, hefty fines may get the attention of these violators. Code Enforcement bears a large part of this failed responsibility.
