Russ: spot on and if I may add an individual in the know told a group of us that there is more fesh water in florida then all the great lakes combined. the issue with water isn't availablity, its political, in that county commissioners , developers, etc want control for obvious reasons. Why else would florida allow nestle to draw milions of gallons daily free of charge? People living in Central Forida are taking a beating when it comes to water costs ( we have a three tier rate) and Homeownowners Insurance.
