A plan to transform a L.A. street into a 1,000-foot waterslide is drawing questions about whether it's a responsible use of resources during California's drought.
So far, more than 2,000 people have signed a petition against the slide.
Many who signed the petition called the expected water use irresponsible and questioned how the city could allow it.
Downtown News reported the L.A. event would take place Sept. 27 on hilly Olive Street between Third and Sixth streets. Now the Slide the City website only states that a Los Angeles event is to be determined.
The company could not immediately be reached for comment, but two tweets responded to the complaints of the petition.
In California, four other cities are also listed as future possible locations. So far, no other dates in the U.S. have been announced.
California's drought remains a state of emergency, with fines in effect in some areas for excessive water use.
