a couple of years ago, we were in a big drout.. any pools could not have any more water put in them, you couldnt wash your car.. any fountains running... had to be stopped... limit your shower times.. and if you used too much water, the city will come cut your pressure back and give you a nice letter.. it was bad.. We had some really bad thunder/lightning storms the other night oo.. power lines had fallen on like.. 10 cars in the city..
