he ain't so innocent

what stinks is that he hasn't done anything about this until it was in the news.


But city water records suggested that Armstrong's home has long been a guzzler, using an average of 158,000 gallons a month since January 2007. Then, in June, the cyclist shot ahead of the pack, topping the city's list of residential water users for the first time, officials said. That month, his house and garden drank up 222,900 gallons.
Daryl Slusher, an assistant director of the Austin City Water Authority in charge of conservation, said the city had ruled out a leak. Slusher offered to scrutinize Armstrong's irrigation system and perhaps recommend native species that require less water.
