So how much are the bottling plants required to reduce their water consumption??? Or can they continue to use water without drought restrictions in order to make a profit, while we look at brown grass??? It just seems that if sacrifices need to be made due to the weather, everyone should feel some pain.
Couldn't agree more.
And that 10% surcharge... Unless everyone's water meters will be read TODAY, (and again at the end) how accurate is that going to be?
