We have had rain on 7 out of the last 8 days and plenty of rain going back to last summer. It is time that area officials fully explain why we are still under water restrictions. Believe me, I have heard anecdotal information about it being dry, but I have water standing on top of my yard and 10 days ago when I was tilling up my yard, getting ready for my garden, there was no evidence of dry soil. How about y'all?
If we are still under water restrictions, because of population reasons, then officials need to come out and say, "We are overpopulated so we are rationing water." Can someone please explain where and why the justification of this decision (or lack there of) to not lift water restrictions. I believe that we can positively suggest the best times and conditions for people to water without severely penalizing them with onerous fines. That is what marketing is for.
Is this just a control issue? Just doing this for the sake of doing it or just because they can? I am really trying to understand why these restrictions are still in effect, because it seems and it sounds like the only reasoning is quasi-bureaucratic-political jargon. In my opinion, if these restrictions aren't necessary, then they are unnecessary.
