CELINE DION, THE WATER GUZZLER

I love Celine Dion, not so much her music but rather, who I have seen in interviews and stuff - she's just the right amount of crazy and for me, that contrasts nicely with her schmaltzy music. But this morning I read an article from the Palm Beach Post that talks about who uses the most water in their area, and Celine and her fath...I mean husband were right at the top. Keep in mind, she doesn't even live there yet. Here's an excerpt:

While most residents use fewer than 10,000 gallons a month, utility records show that some of the Treasure Coast's most water-hungry residents use more than 15 times that amount.

The biggest users live along Martin County's coastline, including wealthy Jupiter Island, where homeowners use up to 1.6 million gallons a month - more than 250 times the average amount used by residential customers served by Martin County utilities.

For the 12 months that ended in March, the title of top water-guzzler went to Renlec Management, the Montreal-based company of Canadian singer Celine Dion, who owns 5.7 acres in the island town. In a year, the property used about 6.5 million gallons of water, or enough to fill a 50-gallon bathtub about every four minutes.

Now Celine, for the love of the children, and their parents (inside joke there), can you please use some rock gardens or something?
