They say they have already been using significantly less water than their state allotment, and they are still going to be under the new allotment by a large amount. Yet they are still going to charge more for water in order to encourage even less water use.

People already spent time and money to use less water, so much so, they say they are fine in a drought, but are getting punished anyway. These people need new neckties.

I remember all that. Lived through it.

Even funnier is in the late 2000s, downtown San Francisco smelled a lot like an open sewer. Turns out all the gov't mandates for low-flow toilets didn't push enough water through the sewer systems to flush everyone's poo. Then they had to hire big teams (at a massive expense) to go down in to the sewers and manually flush it all through with high-pressure hoses.

And guess what? That's what they're still doing today.
