That sucks! It's kind of like down here in West Palm Beach. Two years ago, during hurricane season, Lake Okeechobee, which is the main water source for South Florida, overflowed. So, last year, the County drained part of the lake to accomodate the increased rain. Well, we didn't get any major hurricanes, and therefore no surplus rain. The lake level has been low since, and we have been on water restrictions. Last month, West Palm Beach increased its water rates to compensate for the lost revenue from the water restrictions! WTF?!?!?! If you use too much water, you get fined, but if you don't you pay more since you didn't use enough water!
