Why, it's the *duty* of the local population to allow Lester to build his water reclaimation and storage facility. Haven't they heard of Conservation?
Seriously, the building codes, fines, and neighborhood fussin' that goes on are enough to make one look for a secluded valley somewhere. (I know that valley couldn't be found in Colorado anymore, but I'd rather be on a tropical isle, anyway.)
Considering this is the environmental whacko capital of Texas, I am surprised they don't PAY for people to build rain water towers and water reclamation facilities. The tree huggers here are really off on this one. More than likely, they just don't want the "unsightly" building near their homes. NIMBY syndrome.
