No more for anyone else but we want more for us?

Really? I respectfully disagree...cities and states may make claim but it doesn't make it right or legal. Well they rubber stamp it all to make it legal. When the west was being settled big ranchers made claim to water sources belonging to them and them alone and water barons thought what a great idea and adopted that clever move as the years progressed
Water is a public resource.. but that is really a subject that will take more time than allowed here.
If The Villages has "no possibility of claiming any increase use of water as a threat while our development continues..."then pray tell why do we have a three tier system? If water is that plentiful then why are people penalized for using more? and if your right then the three tier system really amounts to only greed by people you believe can claim water rights
The real problem here is that there is not one person, one organization consumers can approach that can successfully beat back these water barons and the sycophants that hang with them so consumers eventually submit and just blink and deflate
