Gov. Mike Easley is not a water scofflaw.
There was speculation this morning, apparently fueled by a Raleigh radio station, that the grounds at the Executive Mansion in downtown Raleigh were being watered.
That could have put the governor in violation of watering restrictions that went into effect in Raleigh today. Those restrictions ban the use of all lawn sprinklers on Mondays, and on alternating days the rest of the week depending on whether your address is odd or even.
The state Department of Administration reports that a gardener did water some flowers and plants at the governor's mansion this morning. But he used a hose, by hand, which is allowed.
The mansion's sprinklers are set for Wednesday, Friday and Sunday — reflecting its address of 200 Blount Street.
