I hope nobody is running their sprinklers. We need to be responsible now.

I live within the "affected area". I have been resisting the temptation to rant. I pay my city taxes and water bill like everyone else. But I'm not supposed to water my yard when I want to pay for it like everyone else does? Why? Poor engineering? Poor management? It's not like the buildout of this area over the past 15 years was all of a sudden. What was sudden was our annexation into the city limits for the tax base months after I moved in.

I'm glad I live on the Bossier side.

Here in Florida we are so low on water that we can only water our yards once a week. And there are time limits along with washing cars etc. THe fines are pretty steep if you are caught.
We need lots of rain here!

Yeah, my parents live in Jax. They are building a house now further southwest. It was 10 miles from a fire line last time I talked to them. You guys need some rain badly.

In fact, cutting back on pressure, THEN asking us to conserve on top of that is a double slap. Why not pick one or the other. (because they are that deep in need is why) Meanwhile plumbers are putting pamplets on doorknobs advertising expensive devices that overcome low water pressure. Maybe the "water conservation" aspect of this is to make folks feel guilty for "going around" the problem for themselves. And for the businesses who sell them. |
