The systems of the past lead to guesses, estimates, odd rate assumptions, all due to massive underground piping inter-connectivity between counties and cities, along with a copious amounts of rainwater infiltration skewing the strategy. LBrooksP and Hackel may want "numbers" , but they simply don't exist with the hodge podge of archaic metering, flow rate measurements, etc. Maybe, maybe with a fully functioning operational modernized SCADA radio network an authority possibly may get a handle on the truth of who used how much tapwater and what was sent into the stormdrains.<br />No amount of extension time will garner any new discoveries. People and Businesses took water for granted, and now its time to pay , in full, for services rendered. No amnesty, no debt wiped out, everyone from Billionaires to Welfare recipients pays those pennies per gallon associated with what they own. TapWater is tooo damn cheap, it should be really really expensive - then folks would wake up from the slumber.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
