The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission voted Tuesday to declare a water shortage emergency amid a crushing drought in the state that threatens water supplies throughout the region, slapping a 5% surcharge on water users in the city.

California is in the midst of one of the worst droughts in its history. The drought from 2011- 2017 was so intense that rainy seasons in 2017 and 2018 barely reversed the damage. Mountain snow in 2020 was not enough to fill the state’s reservoirs.

Must why Pelosi is moving to Florida...

[null and void]

We pay less for water here in the high desert than we did when we lived in the SF Bay area.

Why do you suppose that is???

[ComputerGuy]

When you’re thirsty as hell, what’s another 5%?

[Yo-Yo]

I’m surprised that San Francisco has a water emergency, given all of the water the homeless are saving by not flushing...

[Jimmy Valentine]

As long as the Delta Smelt is OK

Breech dozens of dams and refuse to build desalination plants and this is what you get.

[The Louiswu]

What do they do with the money?

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

Do they still want to tear down the Hetch Hetchy dam? At one point San Franciscans voted for that. Liberal Idiots. But I repeat myself.

[Jay W]

Gee, if only there was a large body of water adjacent to San Francisco.

Well golly: There is, but it would require desalinization plants. Though before they got to those, the city would first require destalinization.

Who will save GAIA from all the BO this will cause???

[allendale]

Urban America has reached a critical density of lunatics. It is unlivable for decent, rational people. Let it rot.

[milagro]

EXCELLENT!

[BBB333]

They have plenty of water, what with not flushing toilets because they don’t use them and all...

[cgbg]

Yup—the world’s largest ocean right next to the city and they can’t manage to get the salt out of it.

Any difference between lefties and Neanderthal Man are too slight to notice.

[Magnum44]

Simple solution - recycle sweat

[KC Burke]

When my brother lived in the east bay his water bill was quadruple mine in Surprise,AZ.

[GailA]

BINGO

[T.B. Yoits]

Now, who didn’t see this coming?

[Hildy]

That was so clever, I laughed out loud!

[DownInFlames]

These idiot politicians are too stupid to be proactive and build a desalination plant back in 2019. All they know is tax and spend.
