Vermont has an occasional bit of drought, but usually it is one of the country’s wettest states. That’s why it’s so green. There are ponds, lakes, and streams all over the place. So, I must say, it’s a bit crazy to make us buy low pressure shower heads, reduced flush toilets, low water washing machines, and all the rest of it, when the ground outside our house is squishy most of the time, and the underground water level is usually about an inch below the surface.
When we first bought the house, we had to dig drainage ditches all over the place. The barns were tipping over because the soil was soft under their foundations. The basement was flooded. Several apple trees pulled up their roots and fell over. And so on.
Then the gubbermint starts imposing regulations on us that we have to save water, even though its coming out of our ears. Oh, of course! Why didn’t we think of that?
Like Obamacare, one size fits all.
