Because the audit program was so <br />popular in 2004, Erie leaders last month set <br />aside $7,300 to let homeowners participate in the <br />program free of charge this year. <br /> <br />A common finding of the audits in the five cities <br />that participated last year, program <br />spokeswoman Kara Csibrik said, was that many <br />residents watered too much. <br /> <br />"It wasn't uncommon for us to find that some <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />f!:" <br />~. ... <br />'("\ ' f <br /> <br />A <br />:1 :::~;~;7~ <br />I <br />I <br />j <br /> <br />~ <br />I ."...,. <br /> <br />~ <br />.~I' <br /> <br />. &I <br /> <br />l 1. <br />, 't/i <br />I <br /> <br />f....,.._ <br /> <br />
