If we have an emergency, shouldn't everyone be involved in the solution?
Seems like the first step in an emergency water plan should be a moratorium on new needs "” that is, new construction "“ until adequate water is available for existing needs "” that is, current customers.
The assumption also seems to be that we started wasting water after the last water shortage and now need to [save] it over again. I think many, and maybe most, continued to use the water-saving devices we installed to save water and follow our water-saving habits from the last water emergency.
