    So if the local water agency says, "hey everyone, we have a real supply problem this year, so we need everyone to conserve sot that we can have enough for critical water supply needs, still run businesses, run our hospitals, grow food, and put out fires," your response is "fuck off neighbors, I do what I want, I don't need to do my part"? With an attitude like that, we'll never have a "decent conservation" LOL.

    But typos aside, I've never seen you post anything in these kinds of threads that is a cogent argument based in some fact, or research, or at least sound reasoning and common sense, rather than just random knee-jerk bashing of other people's posts. It is hard to find anything to agree with because it just isn't there in your posts, which are often just hard to read. Yeah, there is plenty of spin from all sides. But there is also lots of good, solid information out there. The internet is the biggest freedom tool in the world, so i'm surprised you are not a bigger fan of information exchange.

    You guys can attack an old dog for not wanting to learn new tricks all you want. To me its just a waste of time so ill save my breath.

    Could be writing your reps instead of wasting time attacking the guy.

    I'm not attacking anyone. I'm asking why he is attacking others in these types of threads. It's all fine and dandy if we are just in a BS thread and anything goes and the intent is shits and giggles.

    There is no need to write my reps on this matter. Our entire state is fully engaged in water survival right now, and virtually avery project I work on is related to helping customers figure out how to manage their situation and protect their interests.

    You guys need to chill out.

    On another topic the amount of prescription drugs in water systems is a huge issue no one touches on. Most municipalities can't effectively remove them from the supply.

    Not quite sure I understand what point these quotes are making together, and more like roughly one PM in early April, so your statistics are again flawed with wild speculation and no basis in fact. But I can't help you deal with your conspiracy theories or paranoia.

    1. Thanks for the advice.

    2. Old news, although you're right, most people don't have a clue. Most people don't even understand how expensive it is to create and deliver safe drinking water to their taps so they can shit in it every day and wash their sidewalks.

    3. Microplastics are the next thing on the list making it into waterways.

    I've seen some of the plastic beaches on tv. Makes me sick.

    Growing up on the water I've seen just about anything and everything float by my parents marina.
