If you kept everything like it was your paying more because of the surcharge. Surcharge was imposed to encourage people to cut back on wasteful usage and if you didn't you paid more. As far as other homes being built it will continue, the bottling plant it was reported on another post it's not pumping yet.

Operative word being YET. Because it will and when they do it will make the problem worse. And I did cut back and had the system completely gone over to resolve any problems. Doesn't change the fact that building more homes and adding the water plant will do nothing but make the issue worse.

Waiting until you can't water and lose $30,000 worth of sod is just not smart.
