+1Please take a serious look at voting YES on Amendment 6 in November. SJR1 will allow the state to lend money from the Rainy Day Fund to fund water resources infrastructure which as we all know is needed.
Sorry two-bit but I'm on the other side of this issue. VOTE NO! Passing this will allow water mongers (money boys) to drill and pump an unprecedented amount of water out of aquifers that will not recover quickly enough. (And get gov't help to do it.) It will mean those of us in the country that depend on our household wells will be losing our water to those that live in the city. Not that the identities pushing for it care. For them it's all about the money they can make. Water is the new oil.
Future water for municipalities should come directly from reservoirs/lakes. Not from underground. That way, powers that be know how much is left. This is not totally a problem free answer, but a bit more manageable. when the large cities price the water accordingly, maybe pools and st. augustine grass will fade out of fashion.
