Odd that they weren’t willing to spend on drinking water, eh?

It’s almost like they wanted a parched earth crisis to exploit...

It is easier to skim a tax revenue stream than a construction project.

From dams literally bursting to completely empty in a single season. Way to go.

FTA:

The declaration requires the city to levy a temporary surcharge on city users’ water bills of up to 5% — the amount they are asking customers to cut — to ensure rates don’t fall below what it costs for the city to operate its water systems. The surcharge will decrease as citywide water consumption goes down to meet the reduction goal, measured against water use during the fiscal year 2019-2020, a time frame chosen before the pandemic. At most, it is expected to add $6 per month to residential customer bills.

The bold is mine.

Place your bets...smart money is on "it will never decrease".
