When approached by Grover, Villaraigosa said he would look into it. Sprinkler use is only legal on Mondays and Thursdays before 9 a.m. and after 4 p.m. NBC shows footage of sprinklers in use on days not allowed under the law.
The Getty House in Windsor Square is the official residence for any Los Angeles mayor who chooses to live there. Whether Villaraigosa has been staying there or at his personal Mount Washington home in recent days, this is just bad symbolism. Inquiring minds also wonder who's going to take the heat behind close doors for this one.
The NBC report also comes before a major announcement of some sort from Villaraigosa about water conservation and energy savings. At 10 a.m. today, he'll announce "two record-setting achievements."

The new laws put in place have really helped. I rarely see anyone misusing water or watering any day other than T/Th. Watching people misuse water used to drive me apeshit and screaming at illegals tending to lawns wasn't solving the problem.
"Villaraigosa Illegally Using Water" is misleading. The property is managed ny the city, he doesn't personally manage the sprinklers.
And Villaraigosa is not at the top of the power structure of the city?
oh please. He doesn't set sprinkler timers.
Neither do property managers. I suppose the should only fine groundskeepers and other maintainence workers who set timers, and absolve management from responsibility to, you know, manage.
And as Villaraigosa only kinda/sorta lives there, I'm sure there's someone actually in charge of the property and these types of things who should be aware of the laws of the city he/she is employed by. Ignorance of the law is no excuse.
Villaraigosa's not a property manager. I'm sure whoever is has been fired. I'm sure he's really remorseful. Seriously, put away your pitchforks.
investigative journalism has stooped to a new low.
Not surprised in the least.
I'm only shocked that NBC4 managed to actually catch our mayor during one of his 24hr LAX layovers.
It seems to me that almost every news outlet is trying to say Villaraigosa is doing a bad job as Mayor of LA. But it's "investigative reporting" like this that makes me think that they(the news reporters) just don't like him and are trying to find anything to make him look bad.
This story really has nothing to do with the Mayor. It's a house that the Getty donated to the City for the Mayor to "live" in. So why is the Mayor taking the heat for a mistake made by a city worker who probably is getting some sort of punishment for a miniscule mistake.
Great work NBC for trying to get some $10/hr city worker fired. Pat yourself on the back. You did a good job.
NBC LA promptly took down this video, what's up there?
