I think there is a revolving state fund for annual infrastructure upgrades. (Taxes)

I save water. In fact, we use less than half of what they'd like us to use. Do we get anything? No. They raise our rates as a thank you.

Water rights should be a federal issue not a state one. It stupid when other states get flooded while California, Nevada, arizona and others are in need of water.

desert is lacking water: news at 11

:laugh:

so you think the water you drink is just collected in a rain bowl and requires no processing to get from there to your tap? k

Actually, yes I do.



I have an artesian well on my property!

The idea of saving water EVERYWHERE is just ridiculous. Here on the East Coast (mid-Atlantic to be more specific) we have enough water for everyone for quite some time. We had something like 15" of rain in the last 2-3 months, and crops are dying or rotting as a result of all the water. Why should we conserve??? It's not as if the water we save is going to be shipped to places that need it -- it's a regional resource.

However, for places like SoCal or the Southwest or even Atlanta, which hasn't seen rain in awhile, it makes sense to run conservation campaigns.

More or less, yeah. I do run it through a water softener, at least when I remember to add salt to the water softener. Oh, and I run it through a whole house filter as well. Delicious water.

Uh, no. I pay for the processing of the water to support the infrastructure necessary to do so. My usage of water does not destroy the water, unless I'm conducting electrolysis experiments and trying to produce large amounts of hydrogen.

Besides, when we move either very soon or in a few years, I'll likely be buying a house with well water. So, yes, it requires no industrial processing from there to the tap.
