Maurice Wynn is on the lookout for excessive water use. He’s a water waste inspector for the Santa Clara Valley Water District.

I spent a day with Wynn as he responded to complaints about leaks, overwatering and broken sprinklers. Watch the video to see what happens when Wynn finds evidence of water waste.
