How they can reconcile allowing two water bottling companies open access to our water supply continue to rapidly expand and yet have the audacity to demand residents conserve is beyond me.

and who foots the bill we do with a three tier rating system along with continuing base charges

what a racket
I read in the paper the other day that we are not to worry as a water bottling company hasn’t started bottling their allocation of water. And, they will be assessed a 10% surcharge like everyone else to make them conserve water. The paper also stated that we should have no worries about water as we have a good supply of it.
