Expensive either way - guess that's what happens when you have to pipeline water a long way.

We don't pipeline water a long way. That would be LA. We have a dam that sits above town with a river running directly through town. Our water costs have more to do with ESA than how far we have to pipe it.

Ahhhh, so there's some endangered species of cockroach that demands protection, thus preventing expansion of the reservoir or some such. Nice. I'm sure you sleep better at night knowing that the Lesser California Brown River Snail is fully protected against extinction ;)
