How about just charging more for the water?

Drought-shaming is what we municipal authorities do when we cannot figure out how to uphold our responsibility to supply enough water for our population.

The reason we can’t supply enough water is mainly because doing so would cost a lot of money, and these high costs would make it more difficult for us to use taxpayer dollars to continue buying votes from dependent constituencies.

These votes are necessary to keep our asses ensconced in cushy government-paid jobs we don’t really have the skills to perform.

Only a liberal controlled city in a north American rain forest could suffer a water shortage.

Liberals should be caged.

Most water is used by industry and agriculture. Going full Nazi on households is irrational.

A friend of mine up there said that the water shortage was enough to send the local loony neighbor over the edge. After haranguing a neighbor for watering her flowers, which is still allowable a couple of times a week, he came back that night and spray-painted her garage with “Don’t Waste Water!” It didn’t take long for the cops to snag, tag and bag this guy.

The biggest violators are usually the cities themselves.

Instead of spraying water on the lawn, how about paint?
