Try Charlotte. We are in a drought so we get fined if we wash our car or water our lawn. As a result we have conserved so much that the water utility is not taking in enough money. My reward for being a good citizen is going to be higher water bills. Thats right. Even though I am using less I will be paying more. Is this a great city or what?

Problem was that the water company couldn't just raise its prices. That would have led to lower demand, but some people could have still washed their cars or watered their lawns.

I have a well. If I use too much water, then the well goes dry for a while.

You would think that the City of Charlotte would drill a few wells too. Nope. They have always relied on the Catawba River and by gum if it was good enough for pappy it’s good enough for me.
